Festival International de Colmar - Trio Fratres: Amazing trio with saxophone

" Das größte Festival für klassische Musik im Elsass. "

Trio Fratrès
With their unusual line-up (violin, saxophone and piano), the artists of the Trio Fratrès explore repertoires – classical and popular – in a constant dialogue, forging links between musical worlds and landscapes.
Here, jazz has earned its spurs, whether it be the famous Bœuf sur le toit by Milhaud, The Threepenny Opera sous by Weill or Porgy and Bess, in which Gershwin focuses on the African-Americans in South Carolina at the beginning of the last century, or even the songs of Rudy Wiedoeft or Duke Ellington, these melodies are snapshots of the life of ordinary mortals...
A gourmet dive into the highly sensitive world of the saxophone!
