Chloe Pfeiffer
Pianist, arranger and musical and artistic director, Chloë Pfeiffer has a wide variety of skills. A laureate of the CNSM in Paris, specializing in tango, she immersed herself in this world 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 knowledge of styles. She will follow 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 three albums to its credit and numerous concerts, Silbando is recognized as one of the greatest tango orchestras on the current scene.
His latest creative project fully unites tango and classical music through original compositions and arrangements under the name of Chloe Pfeiffer and the Dixit Ensemble.
According to its website: "Classical music diverted with brilliance and sensitivity, mixing jazz, tango, improvised music and other current influences; a universe where Ravel resounds with the accents of 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 recognized as a leading expert on the music of Astor Piazzolla thanks to an important work of 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 leads a career as a soloist 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 halls in Europe such as the Royal Albert Hall, the Elbphilharmonie, the Salle Pleyel, the Bozar, the Cité de la Musique and the Berlin Konzerthaus.
In tango orchestra, he multiplies professional experiences: the Silbando orchestra, the Emedea Quintet, the Sónico Ensemble, the Caliente Quartet and the Juan José Mosalini Grand Orchestra among others.
