Les Cuivres De la Neustrie

Founded in 1984, the Neustrie brass ensemble comprises eight instrumentalists divided into two sections: four trumpets and four trombones.

This ensemble is complemented by another instrument, the organ, with which the brass instruments naturally interact. It has been played by Danièle Jeansonnie since the ensemble was founded.

The Brass Soloists are often called upon to take part in outdoor events in surroundings such as the Parc National du Domaine de Saint-Cloud. For more than thirty years, the brass ensemble has been a constant source of musical activity, performing in numerous concerts at prestigious venues such as Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the chapel of the Château de Versailles, Chartres Cathedral and numerous other buildings such as the beautiful Abbaye de Conques.

The ensemble’s aim is to promote the rich repertoire of brass instruments spanning several centuries of music, their sonorities flourishing under the vaults of cathedrals.

Ensemble Qu4tre à 4, trombone quartet

Originally from Pas de Calais in northern France, where they pursued their musical careers, these four musicians now teach at national conservatories.

The program offered by the “Qu4tre à 4” ensemble is deliberately eclectic, reflecting the repertoire for four trombones. From transcriptions to original pieces, the four trombonists allow you to you discover the richness of their instrument through through the artists’ musical sensibilities.

As certified teachers, they enjoy incorporating an educational component into their activities, including school presentations, master classes, and the production of musical tales specifically created for their ensemble.

As worthy representatives of the French School of Trombone, they perpetuate the characteristic qualities of this school, through their performances and especially at major international festivals (Paris, Valencia, Lausanne, New York, Los Angeles, SliderAsia in Hong Kong).
