In an utterly unique and eclectic concept, flautist François Richard and pianist Matt Herskowitz build bridges between themes inspired by jazz, world and classical music. Alongside classics bursting with improvisational flair from music masters such as Éric Satie, Cole Porter, Miles Davis, Claude Debussy et Maurice Ravel, they will interpret their own original compositions, in a musical encounter ennobled by its fusion of creativity.
