Matteo Pastorino, an innovative figure in the bass clarinet scene in Europe, returns to Paris with a new quartet a year after the release of his latest album, LightSide.

Through an original repertoire, the quartet brings to life music that is both lyrical and audacious, where writing and improvisation engage in free dialogue, revealing the full richness of timbres and the intensity of interplay.

This concert will also be an opportunity to discover new compositions, extending the universe of LightSide and opening up new sonic perspectives, between continuity and exploration.

“Matteo Pastorino’s bass clarinet envelops us in deep, burning emotions, making the calm clarity of his ensemble playing and his ability to envelop the low countermelodies in a captivating flow all the more impressive.”
