Featuring guitar teachers and students from the Conservatoire populaire and dancers from the pre‑professional contemporary class of Emilio Artessero Quesada, this program stages a dialogue between dance and guitar rooted in Cuban repertoire.

The performance balances precise instrumental textures and kinetic, communal choreography, offering vivid sonic colours and pulsing movement.
Quatuor Terpsycordes overturns chamber music conventions by forging a direct, living relationship with the audience. Combining boldness and sensitivity, the quartet moves fluidly through repertoire from pre-classical works to contemporary creations, searching constantly for balance between tradition and freedom.

Violinists Girolamo Bottiglieri and Raya Raytcheva, violist Caroline Cohen-Adad and cellist Florestan Darbellay shape luminous textures and intense chamber dialogue, inviting deep listening and vibrant emotional exchange.
