The Ensemble Jacques Moderne regularly works with a variety of orchestras and instrumental ensembles. These encounters around a common project enable 2 ensembles with parallel careers to come together around a specific repertoire to create a dialogue and an artistic emulation. has Among others, we have collaborated with Gli Incogniti, Concerto Soave and Les Eléments.

GLI INCOGNITI

AMANDINE BEYER

Gli Incogniti was founded in 2006 by the violinist Amandine Beyer. It is named after the Accademia degli Incogniti, an artistic and academic circle that was amongst the most active and libertarian of 17^th century Venice.

Gli Incogniti is specialist of baroque instrumental repertoire but it explores also the classical repertoire. The ensemble is regularly invited to perform in major venues, in France and abroad: Philharmonie de Paris, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Wigmore Hall (UK), Oji Hall in Tokyo (JP), Philharmonie du Luxembourg (LU), BOZAR Brussels (BE), Philharmonie Essen (DE)... It also performs on the stages of major festivals, among which Boston Festival (US), Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo (MC), MA Festival Brugge (BE), International Bergen Festival (NO), Festival de Torroella (ES), festivals of Saintes, Montpellier (FR)…

CONCERTO SOAVE

JEAN-MARC AYMES / MARÍA-CRISTINA KIEHR

Born from the meeting of María-Cristina Kiehr and Jean-Marc Aymes, Concerto Soave was initially conceived as a showcase for soloists, framing the unique voice of the soprano. Particularly dedicated to 17th-century Italian music, its concerts around the world and recordings for labels such as l’Empreinte Digitale, Harmonia Mundi, and Label Ambronay have undeniably marked the baroque music landscape. The ensemble has thus become a reference for the interpretation of Italian music, where respect for the works aims to amplify their emotional power, sweetness, and mystery.

Choeur de chambre LES ÉLÉMENTS

JOËL SUHUBIETTE

Created in 1997 in Toulouse, the chamber choir Les Éléments, led by its founder Joël Suhubiette, quickly established itself as one of the leading figures in French choral life.

David Chevallier, composER AND GUITARIST

Born in 1969 to musician parents, David Chevallier studied classical guitar before developing a passion for composition, improvisation, and jazz. A long-time collaborator with jazz musicians such as Laurent Dehors and Patrice Caratini, he founded his own music company, SonArt, in 2003. The company explores the possibilities of fusing distant musical worlds, such as Baroque and contemporary jazz (Gesualdo Variations, Double Dowland, Sit Fast & Fear Not, Emotional Landscapes), jazz and pop (Is that Pop Music), and chamber music and jazz (The Rest is Silence)…

This diversity of influences shapes his style and musical identity. He adopted the theorbo and baroque guitar, using them to play Björk songs as well as continuo. However, David Chevallier does not neglect improvisation and jazz, as evidenced by his projects "Standards & Avatars" and "Second Life," performed by his trio with Sébastien Boisseau and Christophe Lavergne. The Canadian singer Kyrie Kristmanson also joined them for a new project.

David Chevallier is one of those musicians who enjoy changing directions, never hesitating to step out of their comfort zone to explore new horizons. A prolific composer and skilled improviser, he cultivates his unique style and carves a distinct path between jazz, written music, and improvised music.
