Laurent Dehors & Céline Bonacina

They will meet for the first time in March 2021 at LE MANS JAZZ / CHORUS, and when their musical worlds and personalities come together, the journey promises to be a beautiful one...

With her playing baritone and soprano saxophones and his voice, and his clarinet, tenor saxophone and bagpipes, the combinations of timbres and musical moods are contrasting.

Moving from extreme gentleness to wild energy, these two instrumentalists explore a whole range of emotions in their own compositions.

An open-minded artist, Céline Bonacina brings a tremendous commitment to her own creations, inventing melodic jazz that is constantly buoyed by invigorating rhythms.

Her projects reflect this perpetual movement between interiority and the desire to reach out and share with as many people as possible.

Laurent Dehors, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and prolific artist, thrives on weaving a cross-section of styles into innovative or universally shared works, generously sharing his enjoyment of the stage with audiences.
