Airelle Besson & Lionel Suarez

8pm-9:15pm: AIRELLE BESSON & LIONEL SUAREZ

First time in Paris!

When she’s not delighting spectators across Europe with her quartet, the talented trumpet player with multiple awards (La Défense Jazz Festival, Jazz Academy, French Jazz Music Awards…) Airelle Besson, plies her trade in various outfits gathered from her numerous encounters. Amongst those, is a duo with virtuoso accordionist Lionel Suarez, where she delivers one of her most audacious musical explorations. The rare association of the trumpet’s brilliance and the accordion’s velvet touch creates a sonic blend uplifted by Airelle Besson’s imagination and the carefully orchestrated and sensitive inventions of Lionel Suarez.

The duo has shaped its musical connection by playing over fifty concerts across France before coming for the first time to Paris for the benefit of this festival. A unique opportunity to get to hear this solely live project, powered by a melodic drive that will set off a whirlwind of emotions.
