Elegy for the World - an intense, luminous creation
Peter Hertmans presents 'Elegy for the World', a unique septet in which his guitar-bass-drums trio fuses with a string quartet to create music that is modern, elegant and deeply expressive.
The original compositions reveal a rich palette of sounds, carried by a vibrant dialogue between electric guitar and classical strings.
The arrival of violinist Alexandre Cavalière, a master of improvisation, brings a lively energy: each concert becomes a moment of inspiration and musical sparkle.
Inspired by the fragility of today's world, this production offers a sensitive elegy rather than a cry, a poetic journey combining power, virtuosity and pure emotion.
A captivating musical experience, ideal for enhancing the festival.
