Airelle Besson & Lionel Suarez

Airelle Besson, a multi-award-winning jazz trumpeter, has been illuminating European stages since 2015, leading several projects including duos, quartets, and even an orchestra. In an impressive journey guided by instinct, Lionel Suarez has become the indispensable accordionist who has rehabilitated his "classical" instrument as a fruitful interface for all genres of music.

The fortunate encounter of these accomplished artists delivers a musicality that enriches the palette of the 21st century. The rare combination of the brilliance of the trumpet and the mellowness of the accordion blends together in the vivacity and even the explosive nature of Airelle's daring proposals, as well as in the sensitive inventions orchestrated by Lionel.

It is worth noting how effortlessly these two possess a natural simplicity that quickly resonates with an appreciative audience. While their virtuosity is well-established, it wouldn't generate the same enthusiasm without the captivating melodic and narrative qualities of this generous recital.
