Arteskor Orkestra at Bal Blomet

Arteskor Orkestra is a large jazz ensemble with an aesthetic borrowing from the “impressionist” current of French scholarly music from the beginning of the 20th century (Debussy, Ravel). The original compositions are by Laurent Bonnot. Ten exceptional musicians have come together to offer scholarly, contemporary music that is resolutely accessible to all. The “traditional” jazz Big Band is revisited. The flute and the oboe replace the trumpets, the clarinet, the soprano saxophone and the bass clarinet replace the saxophones and the horns take the place of the trombones. Counterpoint, more modern composition techniques as well as the contribution of the Sonata form are the foundation of Arteskor Orkestra. To celebrate the release on Juste Une Trace of the album HONG, the large ensemble will perform for a very first concert at the Bal Blomet. An unprecedented performance that can be listened to as one watches big cinema. The casting is dreamlike, the scenes follow one another, the dialogues are rich, the emotions flare up. Everything is planned meticulously, carefully and passionately. This is therefore a great first: the original compositions will be performed in public for the first time....

Arteskor Orkestra est un grand ensemble jazz avec une esthétique empruntant au courant «impressionniste» de la musique savante française du début du XXè siècle (Debussy, Ravel). Les compositions originales sont de Laurent Bonnot. Dix musiciens exceptionnels sont réunis pour offrir une musique savante, contemporaine et résolument accessible pour tous.Le Big Band «traditionnel» de jazz est revisité. La flûte et le hautbois remplacent les trompettes, la clarinette, le saxophone soprano et la clarinette basse se substituent aux saxophones et les cors prennent la place des trombones. Le contrepoint, les techniques de compostions plus modernes ainsi que l’apport de la forme Sonate sont le fondement d’Arteskor Orkestra.Pour célébrer la sortie sur Juste Une Trace de l’album HONG, le grand ensemble se produira pour un tout premier concert au Bal Blomet. Une représentation inédite qui s’écoute comme on regarde du grand cinéma. Le casting est de rêve, les scènes se succèdent, les dialogues sont riches, les émotions fusent. Le tout est projeté méticuleusement, soigneusement et passionnément. Il s’agit donc d’une grande première : les compositions originales seront interprétées en public pour la première fois.
