Clash Pop - Les Classiques de Charlie Winston

Charlie Winston is an artist apart on today's music scene. A singer, songwriter and composer, he has made his mark with a singular identity, blending folk, pop and rock energy, with a freedom of tone and a stage intensity that are rare. Introduced to the wider public with the success of Like a Hobo, he has since carved out a personal path, somewhere between introspection, commitment and sonic exploration. His music, at once accessible and demanding, is distinguished by an acute sense of melody, rhythm and storytelling.

For this first Clash of the season, Charlie Winston imagines a concert in his own image: free, elegant, generous and deeply felt. With Les Classiques de Charlie Winston, he revisits his own songs, tracks he loves and classical works that resonate with his musical imagination, in new arrangements with the Sextuor Instrumental, a string and wind sextet formed for the occasion.

The concert invites you into the intimate workshop of a singular artist, to discover what, within his universe, connects song, folk, pop, a taste for rhythm and a kind of almost classical momentum in writing. His melodies take on other colours, other breaths and other contours, between inner energy, understated lyricism and immediate emotion.
