Lydie Barrancos Flute

After successful studies at the Conservatoires (CNR) of Toulouse and Marseille where she got flute, chamber music and baroque music first prizes, Lydie Barrancos decides to perfect her playing under Jérôme Gaubert in Paris in 2003 where she is unanimously awarded the First Prize of “la Ville de Paris” summa cum laude.

For several years she has played with orchestras conducted by Patrice Fontanarosa, Jean-Philippe Lafont, Roberto Benzi, Roland Hayrabédian, Reta Kazarian, with the Opera of Marseille, the ensembles “Musicatreize”, “A Propos” and “Vocations”.

In 2004 she took part to the tour “Spectres et Dragons” with the ensemble Celflor for a series of concerts in Metz, Nancy, Winterthur and Berne. She was the artistic director of the Summer Academy of Music in Marseille for several years.

In the field of contemporary music, she has ben advised by Alain Damiens, Pierrre Strausch and Emmanuelle Ophelie, all of them soloists in the “Ensemble Intercontemporain”, which leads her to work with the ensemble “A Propos” conducted by Alain Damiens.

The Ensemble “Thalleïn” originates from her meeting with the composer Clara Maïda who is currently at the D.A.A.D in Berlin.

At the same time she explores the numerous facets of the flute in the world music.

Patrick Bournet Guitarist, composer

He composes latino and jazz-coloured pieces for the guitar and chamber music ensembles. He arranges the Beatles, Sting and folk music from different countries.

He has also imagined, written and interpreted a show called “A bicyclette”, an original evocation of French “chansons” combining theatre and music.

He has signed Celtic or South-American commissioned compositions for his brother Pascal (“About farewell”, “Tango Impressions”, ”Calle San martin”, “Romeo”).

He teaches the classical guitar at “L’Ecole Nationale des Landes”, lives in Biarritz, loves the Ocean, trees, improbable encounters and smoking a good Havana cigar.
