After being acclaimed in more than 30 countries, (the 5 musketeers of) Image Quartette are finally in India for a series of 10 exceptional concerts. Come to discover the virtuosity of these prestigious Parisian orchestra’s musicians. Their concerts will be an occasion for you to initiate with the varied registers of the clarinet. Nowadays, this wind instrument of the 17th century has become one of the favorite instruments of jazz players. For more than one hour, Bruno Cohard, François Chambert, Arnaud Pairier, Vincent Lauret, and their percussionist Jean Bernard Lasserre will present the masterpieces of traditional repertory (George Bizet, Camille St Saëns, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel...) and those of the jazz (G Gershwin, A. Piazzolla, Duke Ellington, C Machado...). Do not miss this ballade of a true group of buddies who will be able to make you share their passion not only for music but also for this magic instrument: the clarinet.

Images Quartette exists since 1990. Founded by the clarinetist Bruno Cohard, this musical troop has to its credit some 60 tours and 410 concerts throughout the world!

Their tour in India includes 10 concerts organized by different Alliances Françaises of the Indian network. Something not to be missed!

Entry is free. (we think)
