After the Sea

Project based on Debussy’s “The Sea”

Whether in tone, 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 Emile Parisien’s desire to merge his universe with that of the QAH, and their wish to further explore aesthetics and expand their horizon, the project “After the sea” was made possible by the musical architect and exceptional pianist Roberto Negro.

“After the sea” has an indefinable, contemporary form, yet the audience never feels lost between classical and jazz genres. Debussy sets the course and builds bridges, drawing inspiration from Ligeti, Stravinsky and Ravel. The saxophone and clarinets meet in muddy waters that become crystal clear once they are paced by the waves of the piano that binds, separates, and reconciles them.
An exceptional musical kaleidoscope.
