SEA ANGELS

A BRIDGE WITH… THE BRIDGE

PRESENTATION

This creation is a second repertoire, for a group that was created as part of the Franco-American exchange platform « The Bridge« . This quintet, which has already experimented and found the sound of the ensemble during a tour in the USA and in France, decided to create a new repertoire including open forms of writing, offering spaces for « framed » improvisation.

Nicole Mitchell and Christophe Rocher are the two composers of this new creation.
