About

We are a Franco-American ensemble, founded at the Cité internationale des arts, a Parisian cradle of artistic creation. Louna Dekker-Vargas (flutist), Brian Howard (cellist) and Soraya Verdier (pianist) have performed around the world in concerts, festivals and artist residencies, from New York to Canada, Russia, Alaska and Paris, to name but a few. They have completed residencies at renowned artists' centers such as the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, the St. Petersburg Palace Festival, the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity, the Imani Winds Quintet Chamber Music Festival, and have received awards for their chamber music and solo performances.

Music

We play a mix of European music, such as Mendelssohn and Gaubert, as well as dabble in Piazzolla, who blended Argentinian tango with European classical writing.
Performing in intimate settings is our absolute favorite thing to do! In this setting we can have a direct contact with the audience, and share this beautiful music face to face. We can't wait to share an evening of music with you!
