Duo Andaluz Guitare Violon

Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon welcomes Duo Andaluz Guitare – Violon

At Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon, we are delighted to welcome Duo Andaluz Guitare – Violon for an evening that celebrates the intimacy and fire of string music in one of the city’s most evocative quarters. Framed by the Renaissance façades and winding traboules of Vieux Lyon, the conversation between guitar and violin unfolds with a warmth that our hall is designed to amplify: clear, present, and richly human. The duo crafts their art around the colors of Andalusia and the broader Mediterranean, balancing delicate lyricism with rhythmic vitality. Expect the pliant shimmer of vibrato, percussive strums that glow like embers, and bow strokes that let phrases breathe as naturally as speech. From our stage, every nuance is legible, every silence purposeful, and every crescendo an invitation to lean closer. For newcomers and connoisseurs alike, the setting transforms this concert into more than a recital—it becomes a shared, living experience of resonance, gesture, and listening.

A living dialogue of guitar and violin

As presenters, we are proud to spotlight the duo’s current artistic momentum: a renewed focus on storytelling through musical form. In this program, Duo Andaluz Guitare – Violon draws on Iberian timbres, Arab-Andalus echoes, and contemporary sensibilities to create a flow that feels both rooted and exploratory. Their approach privileges clarity: a melody will bloom on the violin, only to be refracted through the guitar’s counter-lines; a dance figure will appear on the guitar, then shift in the violin’s bow into a sigh, a flourish, or a playful turning of the rhythm. What makes their work timely is not a gimmick or a trend, but a commitment to craft—unfolding new arrangements alongside improvisational moments shaped by the room, the audience, and the night itself. Each section is sculpted with care, from whispered harmonics and quietly brushed chords to ardent passages where pulse and melody meet like flame and air. The result is a living repertoire, felt in the present tense.

Presenting them in the Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon means inviting the audience to hear how space and sound converse as partners. Our hall favors detail: the grain of a low string, the rasp and bloom of a drawn bow, the soft thunder of a rasgueado cascading through the wooden architecture. With sightlines that bring listeners close to the musicians’ gestures, the performance reads like chamber theatre—hands, breath, and glances weaving an unspoken script. We prepare the atmosphere with warm, focused lighting and a stage layout that centers the duo’s dialogue, allowing the music’s journey—from contemplation to celebration—to remain uninterrupted. Whether you come seeking the sun-drenched pulse of Iberian dance, the poetry of cantabile lines, or simply the rare pleasure of two instruments speaking as one, this evening situates you at the heart of the exchange. In Vieux Lyon, where history hums in stone, Duo Andaluz Guitare – Violon adds a new page to the neighborhood’s living book of music.
