Lydie Auvray fans can rejoice, because the "Grande Dame of the accordion" is back on tour and has a real treasure in her luggage with the pieces from her new CD "Mon Voyage". Auvray has actually been on her own personal musical journey of discovery for 42 years, but this time she is once again boldly breaking new ground: the pieces on her 23rd album are particularly rich in different musical styles, images and dynamics.
Auvray's very own musette wonders mingle with the lively sounds of the Caribbean, a tango full of astonishing changes of mood and tempo with jazz. Spanish rhythms are also heard and then the formidable trio even proves that the driving sound of the accordion is also wonderfully suited to the Orient. But new sounds that cannot be clearly located geographically also take the audience on a musical journey. Dynamic and surprising, the melodies and sounds create colorful stories in the mind's eye, from racy and humorous to playful and melancholy.
As always, the program will be presented by a radiant, energetic Lydie Auvray, who will guide you through the evening with her incomparable charm and personal openness. Two new chansons also enrich the repertoire: presented with a wink by the exceptional artist, revealing little anecdotes - always authentic, full of heartfelt irony and sung with her warm, soulful voice.
Auvray's joie de vivre, her humor and her curiosity about the diverse musical styles of the world are evident in every piece, in every story, making the evening an unforgettable experience. And despite her great desire to constantly venture into new territory, Lydie Auvray always remains true to herself.
This makes MON VOYAGE truly a BON VOYAGE for concertgoers.
