Céline Bonacina & Laurent Dehors in Le Mans

Guests at Le Mans Jazz 2021, Cécile Bonacina and Laurent Dehors present a concert focused on the convergence of their respective tones and compositions.

Armed with a wide range of wind instruments, the duo offers a program combining personal compositions and free improvisations. Among the pieces performed are Jingle, Open the door, and even Les Oiseaux, a composition characterized by frequent changes in rhythm and great freedom of timbre. Melodic flourishes—sometimes elegant, sometimes abrupt—seem to truly mimic birdsong, creating a vivid dialogue between the instruments. Voices interweave and respond to each other in a lively exchange, making the performance both very successul and expressive.
