Concert: Barbastelle
The Barbastelle ensemble, led by bassist Jordi Cassagne, explores a tranquil yet vibrant world in Vestige Étésien. Strings, woodwinds and impressionistic percussion blend chamber music, jazz and free improvisation into a fragile yet powerful whole. It evokes a cinematic hidden world, beneath flowing water, like an ode to transformation and change.

Yann Lecollaire (clarinet), Hanne de Backer (bass clarinet, baritone saxophone), Annemie Osborne (cello), Jordi Cassagne (double bass), Samuel Ber (drums)
