The Perfect Match
Love, whether passionate, disappointed, crazy, filial, platonic, furtive or impossible;
The love of some, the love of others, the love of oneself, the love always…
It is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists, it is often the reason for being and the permanent quest of individuals.
Lucienne and Félicien have also chosen to talk about love! Sharing the stage very regularly as a duo for several years, they have decided to create a new program for 2023 entitled “The Perfect Match”!
Because yes, love today is often a question of matches! Fabien Waksman, a young prodigious composer, will not tell us otherwise. He imagined for this trumpet and accordion duo a creation full of humor, virtuosity, tenderness but also questioning: The Perfect Match.
This work, composed in the manner of a suite of dances from the baroque period, is the main thread of this new program. Each of its movements is interspersed with key works of the repertoire, transcribed for the duo and inspired by… love, of course!
Fabien Waksman’s music rubs shoulders with Georges Bizet’s, Leonard Bernstein’s, Rafael Mendes’, Astor Piazzolla’s or Michel Legrand’s to tell the story of the trumpet and the accordion’s love, and also of Lucienne and Félicien’s love !
