The 61st edition of the International Chamber Music Festival takes place in this XNUMXth-century Romanesque church with exceptional acoustics. Concerts by some of the world's finest artists take place in an exceptional setting, listed as a historic monument.
François Salque: cello.
Claire-Marie Le Guay: piano.
A duo as close-knit as they are passionate. It's hard to imagine a more beautiful combination of talents. François Salque is one of those pure and uncompromising musicians, with a chiseled style of the most beautiful lyricism. His precise yet incandescent bow, as well as his eclecticism, make him one of the most renowned French performers of his generation.
At his side, Claire-Marie Le Guay is simply radiant. Her experience with the great repertoire, her musical intelligence, and her captivating palette of timbres transform each of their programs into a unique moment.
The unwavering musical complicity of these two accomplished soloists, who met at the age of 18, and their profound understanding of different musical languages, allow us to savor the most powerful stylistic and aesthetic evolutions of a particularly rich literature.
