Anne Sila & Yvan Cassar

Anne Sila and Yvan Cassar Distribution: Anne Sila, vocals and cello Yvan Cassar, piano Anne Sila, a voice laid bare, capable of conveying emotion without detour.

Solid classical and jazz technique that allows her all kinds of crossings, even those of the big media pop swim without losing either her timbre or her truth, she has established herself today as one of the most beautiful voices of French song.

One day, as if in a dream, she crossed paths with the great Yvan Cassar, pianist and arranger extraordinaire, known for bringing like no one else so much magic to harmonies and orchestration. From one chord, he makes a poem.

He is the architect of great popular frescoes as well as classical elegances, irreplaceable companion of giants, Johnny Hallyday, Claude Nougaro, and many others.

She comes from the heart, as one comes into the world, without caution, with that element of the unknown that makes truth tremble. He from piano, from score, from listening, from that rare talent of knowing how to make the smallest note beautiful.

Both know that music begins precisely when it escapes them. From their meeting is born this piano-voice duo of two musical sensibilities that recognise themselves, elevate themselves, and end up becoming only one voice.

Programme: new works and tributes to French song classics, revisited in piano-voice, with a rare delicacy and originality, in an almost romantic dialogue between Cassar's melodious piano and Anne Sila's voice, sweet, powerful, sincere, which sometimes also accompanies herself on cello.

Between musical requirement and accessibility, the concert sits at the crossroads of genres, between French song, intertwined classical and jazz influences in a rare beauty, like a promise of grace and audacity leaving even room for some improvised jazz escapades.

Expected effects? Emotion, nostalgia, memories, surprise, poetry and joy! A creation presented for the first time in France at La Seine Musicale
