Duo Andaluz Guitare Violon

Duo Andaluz - guitare - violon at Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon

We are delighted to welcome Duo Andaluz - guitare - violon to the intimate setting of Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon, where the stones and timbers of the Old Town resonate beautifully with strings. From our stage, we champion artists who bring a living, breathing sense of place to their music, and this duo’s Andalusian colors feel perfectly at home in our hall. The program they bring is conceived for close listening: the shimmer of guitar harmonics, the eloquence of a singing violin line, and the subtle rhythmic currents that travel between them. In our venue, audiences are never far from the players, and that proximity lets you experience the agile conversation, the sparks of improvisational flair, and the quiet, suspended moments that define their art. It is exactly the kind of evening we love to present: expressive, virtuosic, and richly human, with every nuance audible in the space of Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon.

Artistic momentum, fresh arrangements, and Andalusian colors

As curators of a season that celebrates craftsmanship and imagination, we are thrilled by the current momentum of Duo Andaluz on the concert circuit. Their artistic news this season centers on a refreshed program that honors tradition while rejuvenating it with newly honed arrangements for guitar and violin. Expect the duo to weave a path through emblematic Andalusian shades—bulerías, soleá, alegrías—alongside Spanish and pan-European concert pieces they love to revisit through their own lens. In their recitals, works such as Capricho árabe, Asturias (Leyenda), Danza española No. 5 (Andaluza), La vida breve: Danza española No. 1, or even the violin showcase Zigeunerweisen find new balance in dialogue with the guitar’s resonance. This is not a museum piece approach; it is a living conversation, shaped by their ear for color, rhythmic clarity, and storytelling poise. For us at Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon, that blend of respect and reinvention fits our room and our audience perfectly, making the duo’s current program a highlight of our season.

What unfolds on our stage is an arc designed as much for the ear as for the eyes. The pair communicate with glances and breaths, inviting the hall into their pulse—the guitar setting a kaleidoscope of textures while the violin speaks in melodic lines that can glow, bite, or whisper. We take care with the acoustics to ensure the softest pianissimo and the most jubilant rasgueado carry naturally to every seat. Expect a set constructed with variety and flow: intimate nocturnes following fiery dances, lyrical interludes giving way to rhythmic swagger, and moments where the duo’s phrasing slows time. Our audiences appreciate artists who share the stories behind pieces, and Duo Andaluz often frames a selection with a few words about the roots of a palo or the origins of an arrangement. It is the kind of attentive, finely articulated artistry that thrives in Espace culturel du Vieux Lyon, in the heart of the historic quarter, where the city outside seems to hum in sympathy with the strings inside.
