Lionel Belmondo , Yannick Rieu and l’OSL: Symphonic Jazz Around Brahms, Ravel and Boulanger

Interview by Alain Brunet

Additional Information

Saxophonists and jazzmen Yannick Rieu and Lionel Belmondo have been musical friends since the ’90s, when Rieu lived in France and often shared the stage with his French colleague. This unfailing friendship culminates this Wednesday, April 16 at Salle André-Mathieu, when a jazz sextet shares the stage with the Orchestre symphonique de Laval. Presented in world premiere, the works on the program were composed by Rieu and Belmondo, inspired by Johannes Brahms, Maurice Ravel and Lili Boulanger. On the eve of these premieres, the two soloists talk to Alain Brunet on PAN M 360.
