Anouar Brahem Quartet

Booking Required

Led by oud master Anouar Brahem, this quartet features Klaus Gesing (bass clarinet, saxophone), Björn Meyer (bass) and Khaled Yassine (darbouka, bendir). The programme weaves lyrical oud lines with chamber-like harmonic textures, where improvisation meets Western compositional harmony and refined Eastern modes. Sparse rhythmic pulses and warm low-register sonorities create a contemplative, meditative atmosphere, shifting into moments of lively interplay. The music invites close listening, revealing delicate timbres and subtle dynamic contrasts.

Organised by Alliance Créative, Double Jeu is an improvisation format built on strategy and subtle manipulation: each performer secretly receives a mission to coax a partner into a specific action without being noticed.

The atmosphere alternates between playful mischief and razor-sharp timing, producing surprising twists and communal laughter.
