Anne Sila, a raw voice, capable of conveying emotion directly. With a solid classical and jazz technique that allows her to traverse all genres, even the mainstream pop media, without losing her timbre or her truth, she is now establishing herself as one of the most beautiful voices in French chanson. One day, as if in a dream, she crossed paths with the great Yvan Cassar, an outstanding pianist and arranger, known for his unique ability to bring so much magic to harmonies and orchestration. From a single chord, he creates a poem. He is the architect of grand popular frescoes as well as classical elegances, an irreplaceable companion to giants like Johnny Hallyday, Claude Nougaro, and many others. She comes from the heart, as one comes into the world, without precaution, with that part of the unknown that makes truth tremble. He comes from the piano, from the score, from listening, from that rare talent of knowing how to make the slightest note beautiful. Both know that music begins precisely when it escapes them. From their encounter is born this piano-voice duo of two musical sensibilities that recognise each other, elevate each other, and ultimately become one single voice. On the programme: unreleased tracks and tributes to French chanson classics, revisited in piano-voice, with a rare delicacy and originality, in an almost romantic dialogue between Cassar's melodious piano and Anne Sila's voice, soft, powerful, sincere, which sometimes also accompanies herself on the cello. Between musical demandingness and accessibility, the concert is at the crossroads of genres, between French chanson, classical and jazz influences intertwined in a rare beauty, like a promise of grace and audacity, even allowing for some improvised jazz escapades. Expected effects? Emotion, nostalgia, memories, surprise, poetry and joy! A creation presented for the first time in France at La Seine Mus
