4th till 21st April 2014, the Colmar Tourist Office

Olivier Ker Ourio, harmonica

Long used to musical challenges of every kind, the two old friends in this concert
are wonderful performers, both as band leaders and sidemen.
Olivier Ker Ourio
Manuel Rocheman
Of Breton origin but born oversees in Reunion, harmonica player Olivier Ker
Ourio was born and raised in a double or triple musical culture. He has played
alongside singer Danyel Waro, his island compatriot and with Marcel Azzola
(at Colmar fête le printemps 2013), as well as with big names in European jazz
(Didier Lockwood, André Ceccarelli, Emmanuel Bex) who all swear he is “Toots
Thielmans’s only real successor” The duet / duel he offers with pianist Manuel
Rocheman is a natural outshoot of his world music culture, especially as he
recorded a new work just a few months ago inspired by the warm sounds of
the Indian Ocean.
Promoted to “High Priest of the 88 keys” by no less than Martial Solal, whom
the American Jazz scene has loved for decades, Manuel Rocheman follows in the
footsteps of a long line of famous musical explorers, path breakers and crossover artists. His list of musical contributions over the last twenty years or so is too
long to mention but let’s cite at least a few names this eclectic artist has worked
with: Didier Lockwood, André Ceccarelli, Olivier Ker Oulio, Johnny Griffin, JeanLuc Ponty, Kyle Eastwood, and Michel Legrand, not to mention Charles Aznavour
and Brazilian musician Toninho Horta.

Gérard Maurin, double bass
invité : Olivier Ker Ourio, harmonica
For vocal jazz lovers, this concert will be a revelation; for those who aren’t vocal
jazz fans yet, this is the show that will win them over. For every time Virginie
Teychené performs at a Jazz festival, be it Juan-les-Pins (where she first appeared
in 2008) or Marciac (last summer in an enormous tent before 10,000 spectators),
even those who never dug jazz singers before are suddenly spellbound.
Virginie Teychené was raised on swing and brought up with the sound of two of
the most inventive women jazz vocalists of the 20th century Billie Holiday and
Mimi Perrin (who created the famous “Double Six” vocal Jazz group but who
is sadly not well-known outside of France). She is the woman who introduced
Michel Legrand to vocal jazz. She is an enormous talent, a jazz purist, who prefers to leave fusion and cross-over to the “weak-hearted”. Her jazz is a jazz
statement. It is rich, airy, strong and tasty, served up by a trio who have been intertwining their talents for nearly a decade: Gérard Maurin on bass, Jean-Pierre
Arnaud on drums, and Stéphane Bernard on piano.
Virginie Teychené
Olivier Ker Ourio
Against a bountiful, classy musical backdrop, her voice rises to sunny summits.
When she scats, she totally lets herself go. She swings in Portuguese, evoking
bossa, then switches to French for renditions of Mimi Perrin and Quincy Jones
hits. On stage for the first concert of the evening, Olivier Ker Ourio joins her as
a perfect sideman.

I. Albéniz : Malaguena / P. Soler : Malaguenas flamencas
Two six-string guitar masters join their talents for this exciting concert.
Philippe Mouratoglou
Pedro Soler has been a master of the Andalusian guitar for nearly fifty years, playing with great names in Flamenco, folk singers like the
Peruvian storyteller Atahualpa Yupanqui, and contemporary artists like
bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons, and Basque singer Benat Achiary.
Philippe Mouratoglou is just as at home with a classical repertory (for
instance, with the Strasbourg Philharmonic) as he is with modern
creations with the Linéa Ensemble, playing medieval music with the
Convivencia Ensemble, or performing alongside jazz guitarist Bernard
Struber.
«Albeniz y el flamenco, Rumores de la caleta» is constructed from piano compositions by Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909) transcribed by Philippe
Mouratoglou, performed in mirror dialogue with compositions by Pedro
Soler, in an Iberian tradition of mixing musical genres which transcends
boundaries between classical and popular styles. The works by Albeniz
are drawn from the famous , Iberia Suites (El Puerto), Spanish Suites
(Seville, Cuba), Songs of Spain (Cordoba and Prelude, also called Asturias) and other Spanish works (Tango, Malaguena). They are composed
and structured similarly to traditional Flamenco forms. One might say
they are close “cousins” those written a century earlier by Pedro Soler.
Far from being a simple juxtaposition of classical and cosmopolitan
compositions, the alternation between the late 19th century and modern works offers something transcendental. As each guitarist perfectly
understands the other’s repertory, they share the same musical experience and their playing virtually melts together.

Claude Robichou
The evening starts with a refreshing dip into the sparkling world of the great
composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1825). A child prodigy, he was
a very young student of Mozart, then a disciple of Haydn in England. All of
his life, he was influenced by Beethoven, the greatest German musician of
his time, and he was adulated by Chopin and Liszt. Heir of the great Mozart
melodic tradition, Hummel, like his master could blend German and Italian
musical styles, as shown in his Concerto for Mandolin, played during the
April 8 concert by Julien Martineau and the Concerto for Trumpet with the
very young Lucienne Renaudin-Vary as soloist.
Successor to Antonio Salieri as Official Composer for the Austrian Imperial
Court, Leopold Anton Kozeluch was also the music teacher of Marie-Antoinette, the second wife of Napoleon I. In a style strongly influenced by Haydn
and Mozart, he write fifteen symphonies, including the surprisingly fresh
Symphony concertante for double bass, mandolin, trumpet and piano.
The concert ends majestically with Philippe Mouratoglou and the ultra-famous Concerto d’Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra, composed in 1939 by
Joaquin Rodrigo.

Lucienne Renaudin-Vary
The Orchestre Mozart de Toulouse (OMT) was founded
in late 2010, based by Claude Roubichou and a small
group of passionate musicians. This Mozart ensemble is
the only one of its type in the region. It was created for
young talents from the Conservatories of Paris, Lyon and
Toulouse who have interned with the Orchestre National
du Capitole de Toulouse (ONCT) on AÏDA scholarships.
The OMT is mostly made up of former ONCT interns and
their teachers. The full ensemble has thirty musicians.
Born in 1999, Lucienne started playing trumpet in
Philippe Lafitte’s class at the Le Mans Conservatory
in 2007. In 2009, she joined Santiago Quintans’s
jazz class, which she attended at the same time. Her
dazzling progress came to light in 2010, when she won
the Selmer-Le Parnasse completion and also earned
third prize at the Alençon Young European Trumpeter’s
Competition, in the age 14-17 category, whereas she
was in fact only 11 years old at the time. Her virtuosity,
musicality and exceptional maturity were rewarded by
first prizes at every competition in which she took part in
202, including the Concours des Jeunes Artistes Maurice
André in Alès.
She is the only one to have won the Concours des
Petites Mains symphoniques competition in both
classical and jazz. Noticed for her talent, she has
been invited to perform at prestigious Parisian and
International music venues, such as the Salle Gaveau,
Annecy Classic Festival, Les Grandes Heures de Cluny,
Les Flâneries Musicales de Reims, and the Spivakov
Festival in Moscow. .In 2013, she was invited to play at a
homage to Maurice André, at the Victoires de la Musique
Classique.
Claude Robichou
Soloist with the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, and winner of the International Competition of
Rome, Claude Roubichou is a professional flutist and
conductor. He is a graduate of the Conservatories of
Paris and Toulouse. In 2010, he started as head of the
Orchestre National du Capitole. In 2011, along with Tugan Sokhiev, and directed Le Carnaval des Animaux in
Toulouse.
At the opera, he conducted Les Quatre Opéras Bouffe
de Germaine Tailleferre and Wviolan Tchekov’s Bear. He
also regularly conducts various orchestras, such as the
Ensemble Instrumental de l’Ariège and the Toulouse Mozart Orchestra.
Julien Martineau
Born in 1978, Julien Martineau is one of the rare mandolin players in Europe to be a career concert musician. After music studies at the Conservatories of Argenteuil and
Rueil-Malmaison, he started playing at the Paris Opera
at age 16, while he was still a student at the CNSM de
Paris. In 1998, he won the Giuseppe Anedda Prize at
the international mandolin competition in Varazze, Italy.
Since then, he has performed as a soloist at the most
prestigious music festivals and concert halls, including
Châtelet theater in Paris, and the Grand Théâtre d’Aix-enProvence. His musical qualities and refined sound have
made him a favorite partner for renowned performers.
For example, with Bertrand Chamayou, he developed
a program of sonatas for mandolin and piano, which
ranges from the 8th century to modern times.
Philippe Mouratoglou is a rare bird in “six-string land”.
In addition to playing classical guitar, which he explores
with a very wide repertory, he also improvises and sings,
performing with the Linea and Alma Viva ensembles, and
taking part in productions at the Opéra du Rhin and the
OPS, and teaches at the Strasbourg Conservatory and
the TNS. He has released an album dedicated to five
centuries of Spanish guitar music and regularly performs
duets with Soprano Ariane Wohluter.
Philippe Mouratoglou enjoys stretching his expressive
palette. His repertory includes renaissance music,
contemporary sounds, and traditional music, as well as
blues by Robert Johnson flamenco by Pedro Soler and
works by Isaac Albeniz.

Paulus Schäfer
The concert given by guitarist Paulus Schäfer and his guests could
doubtlessly be called the “most famous quintet in the flat country”,
given their fantastic reputation ever since the days of their earliest
performances.
Paulus Schäfer was born in the Netherlands in a Sinti family. From a
tender age, he was immersed in the music of the heirs of Django. His
favorite guitar hero and model is certainly Stochelo Rosenberg, and his
musical “cousins”, Biréli Lagrène and Andréas Oberg.
Tim Kliphuis
Paulus Schäfer’s has remarkable and distinctive sound. He plays on
an exceptional instrument; a unique personal guitar model. He is one
of the rare players to truly blend Gypsy sounds and themes with 21st
century music. He is also one of the sponsors of the «Grappelli camp»
organized by violinist Tim Kliphuis (his special guest for the concert)
which, every summer since 2010 brings together music teachers and
students to play Django’s and Grapelli’s compositions..
For this concert, which explores new frontiers, Paulus Schäfer has invited his favorite partners: Noah Schäfer on bass, Romino Grünholz on
guitar, Tim Kliphuis on violin, and Dominique Paats on accordion. Just
as at home with improvisational jazz as he is with classical sheet music
(he’ has performed with the Amsterdam Concertgebow), Tim Kliphuis
is certainly the spiritual heir of Grappelli and often performs alongside
Richard Galliano and Angelo Debarre. Dominique Paats, one of Paulus
Schäfer’s most recent “accomplices” started playing the accordion as
a teenager and has performed internationally, everywhere from Japan
to the USA.

Programme:

Guillaume Chilemme
Marie Chilemme
A. Scarlatti : Concerto grosso for Trumpet, flute and chamber orchestra
in D major
G.P. Telemann : Concerto for viola and orchestra in G major TWV 51:G9
W.A. Mozart : Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola in E flat major KV 364
W.A. Mozart : Concerto for violin n°2 in A major KV 211
W.A. Mozart : Symphonie n°29 in A major KV 201
The three composers on this program were each, in their own way, precursors
and innovators.
Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) is the “inventor” of the Italian overture
and the symphonic form, which were sublimed by Georg Philipp Telemann
and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Concerto grosso in F major is a jewel
of the classical style of the Neapolitan school, intimately blending the soft
sound of the flute with the sharper sound of the trumpet, and the silkiness
of the strings.
Certainly one of the most prolific composers in the history of music, Telemann (1681-1767) composed over 6,000 works in 70 years, including the
charming Concerto for viola and orchestra in G major, which will be performed by Ms Marie Chilemme, and the Toulousain Ensemble.
From Telemann, it’s just a short historical and musical stop to Mozart. The
master melodist of Salzburg give us three symbolic compositions, which
Benoît Fromanger will be performing with his ensemble: a symphony concertante, a violin concerto, and the 29th symphony three pieces composed
when Mozart was only 20 years old, but compositions full of maturity!

Guillaume Chilemme
A graduate of the Conservatory of Paris, Benoit Fromanger started his musical career a super soloist
at the Orchestre de l’Opéra National de Paris. Ten
years later, he moved to Munich, where he joined
the Symphonie Orchester des Bayerishen Runfunks
as a super soloist. After performing with world-renowned conductors like Leonard Bernstein, Lorin
Maazel, Carlos Kleiber, Bernard Haitink, Zubin
Mehta, Carlo Maria Giulini, and Daniel Barenboim, Benoît Fromanger decided to suspend his
brilliant career as soloist and orchestra musician,
and devote his experience to conducting, which he
studied with Valery Gergiev and Rolf Reuter, at the
Hochschule in Berlin. Now recognized internationally as a top conductor, Benoit Fromanger has
been appointed Chief conductor of the Bucharest
Symphony Orchestra.

class at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de
Paris, where he earned a masters degree with honors. At that time he also completed his chamber
music training and received a prestigious Prize
from Pierre-Laurent Aimard.
From 2008 to 2013, he was chosen by Seiji

Wawau Adler
Eva Slongo
Joël Locher
Wawau Adler, a Sinti guitarist of German origin, must have been
blessed at birth by musical fairy godmothers! He grew up listening to
tunes by Django Reinhardt, the idol of all would-be Gypsy musicians,
and gave his first concert with the family band at age 13: he’s never
left the music scene since!
In 1991, at about age 20, he records his first album, «With body &
soul» as a band leader. Since Gypsy guitar music , to his taste, is too
often played in a stereotypical style, he forms his own special blend
by adding in a dash of be-bop her and a pinch of swing there. After
appearing a first appearance in 2003 at the Samois-sur-Seine Gypsy
jazz festival (a “sacrosanct” event held at the spot where Django once
lived), his guitar style becomes purer and returns to the original authentic playing, without ever being simply a pale copy.
For many years, Wawau Adler and his faithful companion Marcel Loeffler have teamed up to play breathtaking duets/ They’ve recorded an
excellent set of CDs called “Back to the roots». But it’s with his famous
band that he will be playing in Colmar: Robert Weiss on pump, Joël
Locher on bass, and Eva Slongo on violin. Festival goers will love this
musical style which is both very technical and very popular.

The April 11 concert brings together three great names in European
Jazz, even if the guitarist, Paulo Morello, is not yet that well known to
the general public. The leader, on keyboards is Jermaine Landsberger,
and on drums we find the very French André Ceccarelli.
Brought up on popular Hungarian music as well as Django’s brand of
jazz, Jermaine Landsberger soon yearned to become a piano player like
Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson and Michel Petrucciani, even before he ran
into Biréli Lagrène. André Ceccarelli started as a rock drummer in ’62
with Dick Rivers’ group, the Chats Sauvages, and later played for French
disco-era legend, Claude François. Since then, he has mellowed out
and can be seen playing alongside Chick Corea, Michel Portal, JeanLuc Ponty and Dee-Dee Bridgewater, not to mention having fun with
Christian Escoudé, David Links and Biréli!
Jermaine Landsberger
Paulo Morello
Holding together these fiery temperaments, Paulo Morello is also a
man of eclectic talents, happy to be play bossa nova or jam with jazz

Carmen Hey
Violin, guitar and accordion are the traditional tools of the trade for just
about every Sinti band, but for this concert they’ll be playing as equal
partners in a duet, with no none playing rhythm or accompaniment. A
duet with three instruments! No joke but an explosive musical association with Carmen Hey on accordion and Martin Weiss, who is just as
much at home with six-string as he is with a bow and for gut strings.
And although this fifty-something year old artist who has just earned
an honorary doctorate at the University of Mexico and has been named
“European Culture Exporter” by the Goethe Institut, is a lefty, but plays
on a right-handed instrument like few musicians since Jimi Hendrix have
been able to do, it’s sure the audience is in for surprises!
Born into a family of musicians, Martin Weiss learned to play very early
from his grandfather and traveled the world with his uncle’s band. He
has developed an infallible and surprising technique (perhaps because
is lefty) entices audiences the way Oscar Peterson, Stéphane Grappelli, Joe Pass and Ravi Shankar used to do. He has in fact shared the
stage and the recording studio with all of these legends. Carmen Hey, his
partner in musical experimentation, is both accordion queen (in Berlin,
she is a star) and Princess of Swing and Tango. She defines music as
a mix of French-style carefree art de vivre and a fiery musical temperament that can turn heads and move bodies!

Roby Lakatos
By inviting singer Myriam Fuks to share the stage with his band, violinist Roby Lakatos brings together two historically painful destines,
those of two communities repeatedly chased away because of their
beliefs and or lifestyles: Gypsies and Eastern European Jews. Musically, it’s a marriage made in Heaven, celebrated by outstanding
artists who mix Tzigane music with Yiddish melodies.
A virtuoso violinist known for extraordinary eclecticism, Roby Lakatos trained at great conservatories (Budapest and Brussels). A symphonic soloist, he is equally skilled in traditional Hungarian music
(one of his forbearers was no other than Janos Bihani, the king of
the Tzigane violin), and improvisational Jazz. He has performed with
Herbie Hancock, Stéphane Grappelli and Quincy Jones (his jazz
cousins), as well as with both Vadim Repin and Maxim Vengerov –
two of today’s top classical violinists.
Myriam Fuks
Ambassadress of Yiddish culture and language, promoting the secular traditions of Eastern European Jews, Myriam Fuks is an ideal
musical companion for this violinist and they take us on a timeless
voyage, with modern comforts, free from nostalgia. Along with a fantastic instrumental combo, these two exceptional musicians, who
have known each other for many years, will be performing moving
classics including Yankele, Papierossen and Yiddish Mama.

For Samson Schmitt, his musical life could have been a happy-go-lucky
story, given the talents he inherited from his father Dorado, and his uncle
Tchavalo. But Samson Schmitt enjoys doing things the hard way, and so,
without ever disowning the family tradition of Gypsy jazz, he has always
set out to mix genres, embrace other cultures and cross traditional motifs with new ones until he finds something he can call his own.
Nicknamed “The young lion of jazz” by a New York after one of his concerts
at Birdland, the legendary temple of jazz in Manhattan, Samson Schmitt
offers Colmar two consecutive performances with two distinctive stylestwo facets of his mature musical work.
Daniel Willem
Recorded with just a few of his musical stagemates, his latest album
entitled “Crazy sound” is at the heart of the concert that kicks off the
evening. Performing with a unique combination of sidemen (three violins, a trombone, a bass and a rhythm guitar), Samson Schmitt takes the
audience on a journey to a magic world mixing moderness and tradition
And since Jazz is a family affair, his daughter Steffi, barely 8 years old
will be lending her dulcet voice to certain numbers.

For Samson Schmitt, his musical heritage is Manouche or Gypsy culture
represented by Django, along with hints of Eastern and Mediterranean
Europe, mixed with sun, and served up nice and hot with good friends!
Samson’s is someone who really knows how to put together a band, and
his all-star pals really know how to please crowds (including on the other
side of the Atlantic, where Leonardo di Caprio is actually a big fan). He
chooses his musicians nit just for their intrinsic talents, but also for their

Yardani Torres Maiani
The very name of this group, the “Princes du Bac Sauvage”, that includes
violinist Yardani Torres Maiani and her alter ego; the guitarist Roma Gilles
Moffat, evokes the very spirit of their music. In fact, “Le Bac sauvage”
refers to an outlying part of Saintes-Maries de la Mer, where a river
ferry crosses the Petit Rhône. This is a neighborhood where sedentary
Gypsies settled, a place which binds the two musicians with childhood
ties. Yardani came with her family from Spain and Roma from was born
in foggy Flanders.
Roma Gilles Moffat
A place of pilgrimage, bringing together people from all sorts of ethnic
backgrounds, the Saintes-Maries setting is fantastic sound laboratory
that tuned the ear of our two musical companions. Yardani who actually
who actually started off with the guitar before turning her talents to
the violin, attended conservatory classes in Geneva, whereas Roma
was nurtured on Flamenco and Django. From the musical melting pot
of Saintes-Maries, sprang the magical music of this dynamic duo, who
call on excellent sidemen like their “cousin”, Romanian lyric cymbalist
Fabyan Andreescu
.
Even though Yardani has a great many fans in her extended family, this
will actually be her first public concert in Eastern France. Once of the

Some destinies seem to be preordained and others chosen. Nothing
foretold that Cyrille Aimée, an artist with a silky, fascinating voice,
would become a Manouche style jazz singer; it was deliberate taste
she made back when she was a teenager. Franco-Dominican by birth,
she learned the music at a young age growing up in the very place that
is home to the biggest Gypsy jazz festival in France, Samois-sur-Seine.
“Swing”, she says; “is a music that always fills me with joy”.
Cyrille attended the American School of Modern Music in Paris
and also enriched her musical training with stays in the Dominican
Republic and New York before making a European tour and “going
where the wind (and contracts) would take her”. Things then went
very quickly for Cyrille, as she moved out of the shadows and into the
limelight, recording with the cream of Brazilian musicians as well as
with Roy Hardgrove and under her own name. She also performs with
a number of top Sinti musicians. 2014 is a busy year for her because
she is doing two tours, with 40 concerts in the US, including six at the
legendary Birdland in New York.
Pour this shimmering performance, Cyrille will be accompanied by her
faithful guitarist Adrien Moignard, bassist Jérémy Arranger, and rhythm
guitar player Hono Winterstein, back for a third consecutive time in

Founded in 1986 by four young graduates of the CNSM in Paris, the Quatuor
Epsilon (“Epsilon Quartet”) quickly built a solid reputation in very demanding
musical world, thanks to both their musical cohesion, and the breadth of
their repertory, which allows them to play alongside the French Republican
Guard Orchestra or a good old brass band. Creators of contemporary works,
the quartet is supported by the French Ministry of Culture and Foreign
Affairs, as well as by Pierre Boulez, the quartet’s honorary president.
An unusual ensemble combining a trumpet, a trombone, a French horn and
a tuba, Epsilon quickly overcame the problem of repertory by drawing from
modern composers and by having Tuba player arrange western masterpieces.
Many of the numbers played during this concert take something jazzy,
like Piazzola’s Libertango and Adiostango, or Gershwin ‘s preludes; other

The very talented Gilles Apap is an atypical violinist, a surprisingly unique
artist in the all-too-often hermetic world of music.
Gilles Apap
With him, borders disappear, genres are reinterpreted and certainty is no
more than supposition. Gilles Apap can be a disciplined player but he is
also happy to experiment with everything from java to jazz..
Virtually covered with musical honors (including the coveted First Prize in
Contemporary music at the Yehudi Menuhin competition in 1985), Gilles
Apap is an accomplished soloist who is often invited to perform with
symphonic orchestras.
Ludovit Kovac
A dozen years ago, Gilles Apap also created an ensemble called Colors of
invention, a deliberate reference to another less than conventional artist,
the illustrious Frank Zappa.
With his faithful sidekicks Myriam Lafargue, Philippe Noharet and Ludovit
Kovac, all experts in the art of improvisation and musical acrobatics, Gilles
Apap spotlights traditional music from Irish pubs and Indian streets, often
juxtaposing them with phrases from classical masterpieces (Gilles is an
enormous fan of a certain Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.) Whether Darjeeling

An Easter concert!
Fifty years “young”, the Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie, based
in Mons is just as much at home performing as an ensemble, as they are
playing experimental sounds with big-time rockers or accompanying prestigious soloists.
Quatuor Epsilon
This concert is great chance for them to show off their eclecticism. Conducted by Vincent Monteil, they will be teaming up with the Quatuor Epsilon
to play a world creation by composed by their Tuba player, Thierry Thibault,
young oboe player Olivier Stankiewicz and pianist Jean-Philippe Collard, a
long-time friend of violinist Augustin Dumay, the Orchestra’s Musical Director.
These soloists will also interpret some stunning music by Mozart: the
Concerto for oboe in C major, commissioned by a rich patron of the arts to
“shine” musically in salons; and the 14th Concerto for piano in pour piano
en D flat major, dedicated to his student, Babette Ployer. These are luminous
compositions that radiate simplicity and musicality.
