Pierre-Yves Martel - Quartetski Does Satie
......................................................................................

8 pm – Lion d’Or

A recipient of the François-Marcaurelle award in 2007 with their Prokofiev-inspired show, Quartetski now takes on an adaptation of two dreamlike pieces by Erik Satie : «Sports et Divertissements» and «Préludes Flasques». The quartet succeeds in creating a hybrid of classical music and  contemporary jazz, that is classy and that does not fall into the usual clichés. A must-see !

Philippe Lauzier : alto sax and bass clarinet
Gordon Allen : trumpet
Pierre-Yves Martel : doublebass and arrangements
Isaiah Ceccarelli : drums
