KolorBach Performance

Start a dialogue between Bach’s works and klezmer music : this is the audacious challenge of two musicians couples, a violinist and a violinist-altist, a saxophonist and a cellist. In an open mind they highlight the dialogue between written and orality, orient and occident, classical and popular, the string trio and saxophone.

KolorBach will perform as part of World Sax Day (www.worldsaxday.com)

Squillante Ensemble Performance

Since 2006, the Squillante Ensemble gathers together nine saxophonists who studied at the Paris Conservatoire, whose ambition is to promote their instrument in the current musical scene, by trying to combine the orchestral possibilities of their ensemble and the chamber facet of a group with no conductor.
