The first stop was in Brussels, Belgium for a concert on May 6, 2023 organized by the Fenêtre Ovale collective and ZonneKlopper. Our talented performer presented the remarkable works of Stéphane Roy, Savannah Agger, Jean-Baptiste Zellal and Rafael Muñoz Gomez. This first concert of the tour was an exceptional moment where the music created a deep connection between the artists and the audience.

Édimbourg

At the Totem Electric Edinburgh concert on May 12, 2023, six new works composed by students and by professor Martin Parker of the University of Edinburgh were presented by our performer. The concert was a resounding success, with an attendance of nearly eighty people who filled the hall with their warm and enthusiastic energy. 

Laughter erupted on several occasions during the piece J'arrive pas à traduire ça by composer Ethan Davis that was more theatrical, attesting to the lively and friendly atmosphere that prevailed during the event. The evening was a real success, marked by a strong participation of the public.
