9th August : Quartet Stiltons, irish music

STILTONS is an Irish music quartet. He draws his repertoire from traditional pieces, which he reinterprets in his own way, while keeping the great references of the style.

 

Cécile sings, plays the Irish flute (wooden, without keys) and the mandolin.

Chloé has been playing the violin since childhood, using it in many musical aesthetics, while maintaining a groove that will tickle your feet.

Pablo plays the guitar as well as the mandolin. He colors the melodies with delicacy, with an implacable rhythm.

Étienne is also a colorist! with his bodhran and his percussion set, he brings a delicate atmosphere, while maintaining this groove typical of traditional Irish music.

Jigs, walks or polkas will make you wiggle your feet, nod or even dance!
