Whether in tone color, rhythm, composition, or improvisation, everything becomes poetry. Genres blend, boundaries dissolve, and this encounter becomes a unique work of art and an unforgettable concert.
Debussy is the starting point of this musical journey. Born from Émile Parisien’s desire to merge his universe with that of the Quatuor Anches Hantées, as well as the QAH’s wish to further explore aesthetics beyond its usual path, After The Sea was made possible by the musical architect and exceptional pianist, Roberto Negro.
It is an elusive contemporary form where one never gets lost, hovering between classical and jazz without ever quite knowing: Debussy makes us drift along and improvises bridges, inspired by Ligeti, Stravinsky or even Ravel.
The saxophone and clarinets meet in hazy waters that become crystal-clear — carried by the undulating waves of a piano that binds them, separates then reconciles them as it pleases. An exceptional musical kaleidoscope.
