NEW FORMATION: from July 2021, it’s the revolución with this Quinteto Nuevo Tango!
A new quintet to celebrate the centenary of Astor Piazzolla
The year 2021 marks the centenary of the master of Tango Nuevo, the man who revolutionised the use of his instrument, the bandoneon, but also of its “cousin” the accordion: Astor Piazzolla. Félicien could not let this year pass without paying tribute to him.
He therefore initiated the constitution of a quintet, Astor’s favourite formation, by gathering around him four friends and wonderful musicians of his generation: Thomas Enhco, Thibaut Garcia, Édouard Macarez and Jordan Victoria. Together they propose a programme that gives pride of place to Piazzolla’s great compositions for quintet while leaving room for creation: Thomas Enhco will compose especially for this group.
The quintet will give its first concert on 21 July at the Radio-France Montpellier Occitanie Festival, before performing in Béziers, at the Festival Un Violon sur le Sable in Royan and at the Festival Musiq’3 in Belgium…
THE RESUMPTION OF THE CONCERTS… COMING SOON!

We’ve been hoping for it for months, we’ve been fervently hoping for it… The resumption of the concerts is approaching and there will be many of them! Félicien will travel the roads of France, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium with Thibaut Garcia, Lucienne Renaudin-Vary, Thomas Enhco, Jordan Victoria, Édouard Macarez, the Quatuor Hermès, Julien Martineau and Renaud Guy-Rousseau!
