For this evening, we're delighted to invite you on a double musical journey that celebrates the meeting of sound worlds and traditions from all horizons. Two concerts, two album releases, two stories, but the same desire to bring together here and there, to forge links across borders and make cultures rhyme in the present.

Manuel Hermia & Simon Leleux - Metanoïa :

Both have explored their instruments at the frontiers of cultures. Both have sought the here in the elsewhere, and the elsewhere in the here. In the end, these two found each other, their paths converging so much.

One sculpts the rhythm while the other colours the notes. As a duo, they rhyme the present with presence, dialogue with symbiosis, and enjoy sharing their energy to give shape to a music of here and now, as well as a music that is global and timeless.

Metanoia describes a change of outlook that will lead to a significant transformation in the way we think and act. This type of outlook on the world, which is born within us but has the capacity to change the world around us, appears to be decisive in this time of global transition, with the challenges on which the future of the planet and our Humanity depend.

Trio Charneux, Leleux & Puma :

Born in 2023, the trio explores and appropriates different musical traditions, and settles into wide areas of modal improvisation. Most of the compositions are by clarinettist Aurélie Charneux, who has been looking to the East for some time now.

As warm as the snowdrifts of the Taiga, more refreshing than the sub-Saharan torpor, this intercontinental music comes from an imaginary country. Or from a place where sounds can intersect and dialogue without baggage or passport.
