Massot Florizoone Horbaczewski

Following on from Cinema Novo (2006), Balades Ephémères (2011) and Secrets (2016, with soprano Claron McFadden), the Massot/Florizoone/Horbaczewski trio are back on tour with the new ‘Lignes de Fuite’.

Marine Horbaczewski, Tuur Florizoone and Michel Massot don’t allow themselves to be pigeonholed into a single musical category. They oscillate between melancholy a la Nino Rota, lilting pieces, light waltzes and flirtations with jazz and contemporary classical music. You can imagine elephants and mice, happy princes, melancholy princesses and overworked civil servants parading across the stage.

An original trio

Although their instruments - tuba, accordion and cello - may seem unusual together, the assets of this combination are captivating : a beautiful richness of sound, a wide range and a stage presence that charms the audience at every concert. The fluidity with which they move around the stage like a perfectly oiled trio, the melodic elegance of their compositions and the meticulous precision of their playing surprise and inspire. By improvising, they conjure up the strangest, most joyfully mad, but above all the most moving sounds from their instruments. Their almost 20 years of collaboration explain the instinctive complicity that unites them.
