ANOUAR
BRAHEM TRIO
LE PAS DU CHAT NOIR
Concert.
Anouar Brahem is an artist who, while profoundly imbued with his Arab heritage, is unequivocably modern. He is furthermore, an artist inspired by the clash of cultures. He has always enjoyed initiating meetings with musicians of different horizons: Jan Garbarek, Richard Galliano, Dave Holland and John Surman ... finding in each meeting the means of renewing himself while retaining his own identity. Today, presented by Note Productions,
Anouar Brahem gives us with
Le Pas du chat noir a soothing, melancholy music, with a tone of exquisite refinement and whose formal balance is nothing short of miraculous.

Did
you know ?
Over
150 years (1666-1816) the service, sermon and
benediction in St Mary’s Chapel (St Patrick’s
Cathedral) were told in French for the Huguenot
congregation. Huguenots were French protestants of
wealth and importance who fled to Ireland throughout the
17th and 18th centuries to escape persecution. They
settled down in or near Dublin and became famous for
their knowledge and skill in the manufacture of linen. A
Huguenot graveyard can still be seen in the city center,
at 10 Merrion Row, D2. |
