Summary:

Roberto Negro begins this show by plucking and caressing the strings of an open grand piano with felt-covered hammers, creating an atmosphere all his own. He is joined by Émile Parisien, who colors the sound with mystery and suspense through his soprano saxophone. It is a performance that showcases their duo entitled "Les Métanuits", a piano and saxophone reworking of "Les Métamorphoses Nocturnes," the first string quartet by György Ligeti – the great Hungarian composer of the 20th century. Emile Parisien, "Artist of the year" at the "Victoires du Jazz" awards in 2014, is a man of action. He is involved in a whole series of projects and collaborations, plays in all types of formations and is a phenomenon on stage. Roberto Negro, a man of travel, draws his energy from his life and the cultures that have enriched it – notably Congolese, Russian and French – and delivers a fragrant game of diversity, poetry and improvisation. The two musicians are in a state of mutual osmosis and the complicity is such that it becomes difficult to look away from the stage. Anaïs Christidis Guillemard
