Studio Desjardins du CEM - Chicoutimi 20$ ou 30$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Salué comme un ensemble « redéfinissant la musique de chambre vocale » (Pan M 360), Duo Étrange connaît un succès remarquable depuis sa création en 2023. Fondé par la violoncelliste Sahara von Hattenberger et la soprano Vanessa Croome, le duo est reconnu pour son association unique de la voix et du violoncelle, qui puise dans l’intimité et la spontanéité de la tradition du troubadour tout en restant solidement ancré dans la rigueur de la pratique classique. Le duo voix–violoncelle, à la fois lyrique, brut et souple, permet de passer facilement d’un genre à l’autre, offrant au public un son à la fois frais et familier. Le concert présentera les exquises Chansons d’Akhmatova de John Tavener, le “Dans un sentier tout parfumé” du compositeur canadien Jeffrey Fong, tiré du Roman de la Rose, et la création mondiale d’une version française de L’Arbre de vie de Maya Fridman. L’histoire de Vanessa et Sahara est liée depuis leur enfance. Toutes deux ont grandi comme jeunes musiciennes dans de petites villes de l’île de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, à seulement une heure de route l’une de l’autre, et ont poursuivi leurs études à l’Université McGill après avoir quitté la maison à 16 ans. Pourtant, leurs chemins ne se sont croisés qu’en 2023, lorsqu’elles ont collaboré pour la première fois à la Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur de Montréal—l’un des derniers concerts de la salle avant un incendie tragique. Leur amitié et leur partenariat artistique semblent destinés, enracinés dans des origines partagées et une volonté commune d’explorer le monde à travers la musique. Aujourd’hui, Duo Étrange partage son temps entre Montréal et New York.

Praised as an ensemble “redefining vocal chamber music” (Pan M 360), Duo Étrange has enjoyed remarkable success since its founding in 2023. Established by cellist Sahara von Hattenberger and soprano Vanessa Croome, the duo is celebrated for its unique pairing of voice and cello, drawing on the intimacy and spontaneity of the troubadour tradition while remaining firmly rooted in the discipline of classical practice. Their voice–cello combination, lyrical, raw, and flexible, effortlessly moves between genres, offering audiences a sound that is both fresh and familiar. The concert will feature John Tavener’s exquisite Chansons d’Akhmatova, the Canadian composer Jeffrey Fong’s “Dans un sentier tout parfumé” from Le Roman de la Rose, and the world premiere of a French version of Maya Fridman’s L’Arbre de vie. Vanessa and Sahara’s story is intertwined from childhood. Both grew up as young musicians in small towns on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, just an hour apart, and pursued their studies at McGill University after leaving home at 16. Yet their paths did not cross until 2023, when they collaborated for the first time at Montreal’s Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur—one of the venue’s final concerts before a tragic fire. Their friendship and artistic partnership now seem destined, rooted in shared origins and a mutual desire to explore the world through music. Today, Duo Étrange splits its time between Montreal and New York.
