Eclats Cuivrés : Hommage à Bach

Four saxhorns come together on stage to perform a program dedicated to the work of Jean-Sébastien Bach.

This concert highlights the richness of the classical repertoire through the unique instrumentation of the saxhorn. Invented in the 19th century and particularly appreciated for the roundness and warmth of its timbre, this brass instrument finds an unexpected resonance here in the polyphony and formal rigor of Jean-Sébastien Bach's scores. The ensemble formed by the four instrumentalists tackles the German composer's counterpoints, fugues, and melodic structures with a refined acoustic approach, seeking to restore the clarity and balance of the original works without artifice.

On stage, the formation offers a set attentive to mutual listening and phrasing precision, where each saxhorn section dialogues with the others to reconstruct the complex architecture of the pieces played. This evening is aimed at classical music lovers curious to discover instrumental reinterpretations of baroque scores off the beaten path. The concert takes place in the hall of the Pavillon de la Sirène, a Parisian space conducive to the attentive and intimate listening of acoustic ensembles.
