Guitares entre les cultures

Between solo pieces, complicit duos, and improvised flights of fancy, the artists explore South American and Serbian sounds. A lively, rhythmic, and warm journey for two guitars, at the crossroads of classical and traditional music.

Tizoc Romero and Wiliam Marcil Bouchard offer a two-guitar concert that invites a journey through different cultures, traditions, and musical universes.

The programme brings together works of South American and Serbian inspiration, music with marked rhythms, as well as moments of improvisation, highlighting all the richness and diversity of the guitar.

Alternating solo pieces and duo interpretations, the two musicians explore a wide range of colours and sounds, moving from the finesse of the classical repertoire to the energy of traditional and popular music.

The dialogue between their two instruments also gives significant space to spontaneity and improvisation. A lively and eclectic concert, where tradition and musical freedom meet to offer the audience a warm, rhythmic, and discovery-filled experience.

From a young age, William Marcil-Bouchard developed a passion for the guitar, inspired by his uncle and the rhythms of Brazilian samba.
