Heydar Aliyev Center to welcome Travelling Quartet & Pascal Contet
By Laman Ismayilova
A renowned French accordion player Pascal Contet is to perform
at the Heydar Aliyev Center accompanied by the Travelling Quartet
on May 5.
The concert will feature some really popular tango tunes in a brand
new arrangement and interpretation. This repertoire was presented
in France, Brazil and Finland so far.
In their music, the musicians interpret new arrangements of old
tangos so as to create a link between tradition and modernity. To
come up with this new program, the musicians worked in close
junction with France-based Argentine composers with a view to
presenting traditional tango tunes in a new arrangement. This
resulted in an interesting blend of traditional music and modern
style.
A recognized virtuoso, Pascal Contet has been one of France's
leading figures in developing new genres of modern music for over
20 years. Author of more than 300 pieces, he happened to work with
some true celebrities like Luciano Berio, Bernard Cavanna, Joshua
Feinberg, Jean Françaix, Bruno Mantovani and Martin Matalon. Pascal
Contet, a protean and adventurous accordionist is a winner of a
number of international awards.
Travelling Quartet is famous for its specialty to (re)invent repertoires fit for its unique arrangement: two violins, cello and double bass.
Members of the Travelling Quartet - Anne Gravoin, Mathilde Sternat, David Braccini, and Vincent Pasquier have already won the sympathy of the audience with their performances.
