  • Sangata means sheer connivance. This word of Sanskrit origin reflects what took place on stage in 2019. Three distinguished young Indian artists, Rishab Prasanna, Bansuri flute, Ragini Shankar, Indian violin, Amaan Ali, tabla, and Thierry Pécou, accompanied by two of his Ensemble Variances musicians, Anne Cartel, flute, and Carjez Gerretsen, clarinet, embarked on an intercultural musical dialogue of great depth and sheer joy marked by fusion and dialogue between Hindustani classical music and Thierry Pécou’s writing.

    Le Monde

  • Détachés des langages stéréotypés contemporains, entre écriture et improvisation, Pécou et ses interprètes vagabondent entre les rythmes et les modes...
