Jean-Francois Charles

Tonight's concert features a unique blend of classical and improvised music. Piano compositions by Scarlatti , Bach , Bartok , and Crumb , are interlaced with variations by Jean-Marc Larché (soprano saxophone), Patrice Thomas (guitar), and myself (contrabass clarinet & electronics). Anne Condamin & Jean-Marc Larché are giving with this program their personal vision of the third stream music. Yet another reason why I'm so happy to perform with them tonight.
