“These three musicians bring together virtuosity and a great talent for interpretation, which lend brilliance and energy to the Ensemble. The Michel Tirabosco Trio offers moving concerts from which emanate authentic warmth and sensitivity. A real understanding unites these passionate musicians. The diversity of selected works also contributes to give the Trio the undeniable ability to interpret varied styles of music and thus satisfy a very large audience: tango, traditional popular pieces, Spanish pieces, South American and Rumanian folk repertoire, Jazz... There is no doubt that so much diversity, talent and passion joined together in one entity is the promise of a marvellous concert."
MICHEL TIRABOSCO TRIO
Michel Tirabosco, panpipes
Nathalie Chatelain, harp
"Music above everything" wrote Verlaine. By adding poetry, this is just what Michel Tirabosco and Nathalie Chatelain achieve. Their interpretation of a charmingly varied repertoire, permanent dialogue of subtlety and modesty, draws us in to witness their indisputable complicity and complementariness. Without ever using force or artifice, they open the door to pure melody. Are words absent? Michel Tirabosco makes them come alive by the brilliant transparency of his instrument. The orchestra is not there? With her knowledge of chamber music, Nathalie Chatelain makes us forget by multiplying herself. Thanks to them both for making us dream." Frantz Petri, opera singer
Michel Tirabosco, panpipes, song
Sophie Blanchart, guitar, song
The enchanted Garden of the panpipes is a single concert, born from the meeting between an instrument virtuoso of astonishing brilliance, and a narrative full of freshness and poetry. First of all, Michel Tirabosco, accompanied by his partner on the guitar, proposes to discover the enthralling repertoire of the panpipes throughout the world and throughout history, from Vivaldi, Mozart, Gluck and Bartk to the folklore of South America and Rumania. Then follows a story that is also for grown ups! It is told by Sophie Blanchart, who sings too! Through the sound of her voice and of the flute, Pan, the god of love and jealousy, reappears through the evocation of mythology.
KORDEPAN ENSEMBLE
Michel Tirabosco, panpipes
Antonio Dominguez, guitar
George Vassilev, guitar
Kalina Goudeva, double bass
Kordepan was born from the friendship and the appreciation of four young musicians whose musical affinity brought together. An original and rare formation, Kordepan explores a vast repertoire where all styles are employed and where each instrument can, in turn, show the possibilities of its expression. This plurality is enhanced by the fact that the entity counts no fewer than three different nationalities! This is why, undoubtedly instinctively, the repertoire was made up over time of Italian and Spanish works as well as music resulting from Latin-American and Balkan folklores.
