Chloë Pfeiffer
Pianist, arranger and musical and artistic director, Chloë Pfeiffer can boast of a wide range of skills. A laureate of the CNSM in Paris, specializing in tango, she immersed herself in this universe as a teenager during the Tarbes en Tango Festival. She studied with Alfredo Marcucci and Roger Helou, two great masters of Argentinian tango who passed on to her a taste for the repertoire and a knowledge of the different styles. She followed in their footsteps as director of the Tango Orchestra Workshop at the Tarbes Festival.
In 2010, she founded theSilbando Orchestra, for which she provides the arrangements and the musical and artistic direction. With the release of three albums and numerous concerts, Silbando has achieved recognition as one of the best orchestras performing on today’s tango scene.
Her latest creation under the name Chloe Pfeiffer and the Dixit Ensemble, fully unites tango and classical music through original compositions and arrangements. Chloe Pfeiffer and the Dixit Ensemble.
To quote their website: "Classical music diverted with brilliance and sensitivity, mixing jazz, tango, improvised music and other current influences; a universe in which Ravel’s music is infused with Klezmer, Bach vibrates oriental, Brahms grooves jazzy, the Danse Macabre is more macabre than ever and Schubert dances the tango."
Lysandre Donoso
Lysandre Donoso is a reference in tango and one of the most sought-after bandoneon players in Europe. A former student of the Rotterdam Conservatory, where he studied under Gustavo Beytelmann and Víctor Villena, he is credited to be an expert on the music of Astor Piazzolla thanks to the considerable amount of work he put in the research, transcription and edition of his lost or forgotten work. He was awarded the prize for best bandoneon player in the competition organized by the Fundación Astor Piazzolla in 2021.
He has a solo career and is regularly called upon by the Orchestre National de France, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Gulbenkian Orchestra, the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, etc. He performs in the most prestigious venues in Europe such as the Royal Albert Hall, the Elbphilharmonie, the Salle Pleyel, the Bozar, the Cité de la Musique and the Berlin Konzerthaus.
As a performer in tango orchestras he can boast of numerous experiences : the Silbando orchestra, the Emedea Quintet, the Sónico Ensemble, the Caliente Quartet and the Juan José Mosalini Grand Orchestra among others.
Chloe Bousquet
Chloé Bousquet has been playing the violin since childhood, growing up in a music-loving Franco-Spanish family. She studied music at the Toulouse and Montauban Conservatories, as well as musicology at the Université Toulouse Jean-Jaurès.
She quickly developed a strong taste for Latin American music and discovered a passion for Argentine tango during her studies. As part of her master's degree, she conducted research on the music of violinist Julio de Caro. The voice of her violin is shaped by various encounters and musical research.
She traveled the tango routes, training with Juan-José Mosalini, Ramiro Gallo, Fernando Maguna and Roger Helou.
She is co-founder of the groups Cafetín, La Folia, Cuchicheo (traditional tango) as well as the Trio Tikismikis (Argentine folklore) and shares the stage with many artists from the world of traditional Argentine music such as the singer Brian Chambouleyron, the pianist Mirta Pérez and the bandoneon player Marcelo Mercadante. She has worked with several Argentine tango orchestras including the Gran Típica París, the Septet Los Milonguitas and the Silbando Orchestra.
Since 2024 she has participated in the show "Âmes Sœurs" (Souls Sisters), a tribute to the Toulouse singer Claude Nougaro.
