France and the accordion – what a story!
From its difficult beginnings to its immense popular success, the accordion has won over France and Paris. But its bad-boy charm long masked the contempt with which it was regarded by the classical music world. Generations of accordionists have struggled to establish their instrument in all styles. Today, the accordion is present in all repertoires, often proving to be a formidable vector of renewal and creation.
From Pandora’s box to the box of ideas, the box of thrills and the box of sorrows, let’s retrace the French accordion epic together!

Recorded in March 2022, “J’ai deux amours” is an album full of surprises! Félicien is surrounded by the Orchestre National de Bordeaux Aquitaine, conducted by the marvellous Pierre Dumoussaud, as well as a number of friends and magnificent musicians…
IN DUO WITH LUCIENNE RENAUDIN VARY: A programme to celebrate love in the age of 2.0 relationships!
Lucienne and Félicien are touring Europe with their new duo programme: “The Perfect Match”!
Following the success of their programme “Si Astor m’était conté”, trumpeter Lucienne Renaudin Vary and Félicien Brut have come up with a new programme: “The Perfect Match”.
It’s about love, all kinds of love, but also about dating websites and the question: does love still exist in the age of 2.0 relationships? A creation by Fabien Waksman, designed specifically for their duo, is the centrepiece of the programme. Entitled “Perfect Match”, of course, it will be performed alongside some of the most beautiful musical works dedicated to love by Georges Bizet, Leonard Bernstein, Astor Piazzolla, Marguerite Monnot and Michel Legrand.
