What could be more unexpected than the meeting of a cello and an accordion? A duo born in Namur that has gone on to conquer Venice, Luxembourg, Shanghai and Taipei. Through their creativity, modernity and virtuosity, Pierre Fontenelle and Frin Wolter have been surprising audiences for the past decade, exploring a borderless musical world where repertoires intersect, transform and reinvent themselves.
\nWinners of First Prize at the Concours International Accord\u00e9\u2019Opale and named Coup de C\u0153ur at the Royal Juillet Musical de Saint-Hubert, Duo Kiasma stands out for the freedom and boldness of its arrangements that are neither faithful transcriptions nor simple adaptations.
\nPOLARIS marks a decisive milestone in this nomadic journey. Like the star from which it takes its name, the album serves as a guiding point within an ever-expanding aesthetic universe. The programme offers a captivating dialogue between the Baroque era and the modern music it inspired. Discover how a famous Bach cantata can be transformed into a Beatles hit, or how Villa-Lobos\u2019s lyrical Cantilena can burst into more rock-inspired sonorities, alongside arrangements from Rameau\u2019s operas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
