Duo Andaluz Guitare Violon

Duo Andaluz - Guitare & violon

At Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon, we are delighted to welcome Duo Andaluz - Guitare & violon, an intimate encounter between two voices that seem destined to speak together: the warmth of the guitar and the soaring clarity of the violin. From the first notes, their dialogue evokes sunlit courtyards, shadowed arcades, and the vibrant pulse of Iberian rhythms, yet it never settles into cliché. Instead, the duo shapes a living, breathing recital that moves fluently between refined lyricism and kinetic drive, between folk memory and concert-hall finesse. Our stage favors precisely this kind of chamber-scale storytelling: the audience hears delicate colors, the grain of a plucked bass, the creak of a bow turning breath into resonance. The evening’s program unfolds like a journey, one that traces Andalusian inspirations as they cross borders and centuries, embracing traditional forms alongside modern sensibilities. The result is a recital experience crafted for attentive listening, alive to spontaneity, and richly communicative from the first cadence to the final echo.

The artists arrive in Lyon with a season’s worth of fresh energy, refining a program that celebrates the expressive spectrum of their instruments while exploring the crossroads where flamenco gestures, classical craft, and Mediterranean song meet. Recent performances have deepened their approach to rhythm—flexible, dance-inflected, yet supremely articulate—while their phrasing has taken on a storyteller’s poise: elastic, conversational, and emotionally precise. Rather than treating the guitar as mere accompaniment and the violin as a solitary voice, they build a true partnership, swapping roles, sharing melody and counter-melody, and shaping cadenzas that feel both anchored and free. Audiences respond to the clarity of this design: every transition is grounded in musical logic, every flourish serves the arc of the narrative. For our date at Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon, the duo brings newly polished arrangements tailored to the hall’s intimate scale, favoring transparency over sheer volume, and inviting listeners into the inner life of the repertoire—its murmured confidences, its quicksilver changes of mood, its flashes of playful virtuosity. Expect subtle shifts of timbre, rhythmic hand-in-glove interplay, and the unforced elegance that comes from artists who prize listening as highly as playing.

Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon

As a venue, we design the evening around closeness: between artists and audience, between heritage and the present moment, between silence and sound. Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon offers an environment where acoustic instruments can bloom naturally, carrying detailed textures to the back row without strain. Our technical team supports this recital with discreet lighting that draws the eye to gesture and breath, and with a stage layout that lets the guitar’s resonance and the violin’s overtones meet in a finely balanced blend. We encourage listeners to arrive with time to settle into the atmosphere of Vieux Lyon and then into the attentive focus that a duo of this sensitivity deserves. The program here is planned as an arc—an invitation to travel—yet always with space for spontaneity, for those instants when the players lean toward one another and reimagine a phrase in real time. That shared risk is the essence of live music and the reason we champion ensembles like Duo Andaluz, whose artistry turns a concert into a vivid conversation, one that belongs to our hall, our city, and to this specific night.
