Film music – The virtuoso accordion
After a few bursts of opera to open, this evening will pay tribute to the film music in which Italian composers of the 20th century excelled. Would Il était une fois dans l’Ouest, Le Professionnel or La strada have remained in our memories without the music of Morricone or Rota?
Duo Nuances
Duo Nuances” was founded in 2005 by pianist Clémence Buirette and accordionist Jérémie Buirette. Committed to making classical music accessible to all, and eager to introduce the accordion in its noblest form, this duo performs their own transcriptions and arrangements of composers such as Vivaldi, Bach, Rossini, Brahms, Piazzolla… with great mastery of their instruments and a complicity that characterizes them. These two virtuosos offer an original and surprising duo, at the heart of unusual soundscapes. Their music is free, melodic and inspired, showcasing the multiple nuances their instruments are capable of. They have given numerous concerts in France and abroad.
