Ève Noire is a journey into the heart of Western classical music and the rhythms of West Africa, performed by two musicians who invite the audience on a wordless musical voyage.
The violin’s melodies and timbres are rooted in the Western classical and contemporary tradition, while the African percussion remains deeply connected to its origins, where each instrument and each rhythm accompanied a specific moment in the life of the community.
Ève Noire brings these two musical worlds together, creating a language that is at once classical, contemporary, deeply rooted in tradition and dreamlike.
