奇亚斯玛二重奏

奇亚斯玛二重奏由大提琴家皮埃尔·冯特奈尔与手风琴家弗林·沃尔特组成,他俩将各自乐器的音色融为一体,大胆跨界各类音乐风格,其曲风因而难被界定。这两位年轻的炫技高手凭借其创造力、自发精神与现代理念向众人展示了他们所认同的、身为21世纪音乐家应有的风貌。

该组合前身为皮埃尔·冯特奈尔与手风琴家克里斯蒂安·佩尔西翁于2016年组建的、常年在比利时、法国、卢森堡演出的比利时制造二重奏。彼时,两位音乐家多次受邀参加各大音乐节,如:比利时瓦隆音乐节、法国欧帕尔手风琴音乐节、比利时圣休伯特皇家朱丽叶音乐节、比利时Musicorum音乐节等;此外,他俩还曾登台比利时伊丽莎白女王音乐教堂、比利时列日爱乐厅等著名场馆。201812月,该二重奏参加了在比利时皇家铸币局剧院和伊丽莎白女王音乐教堂举办的圣诞汇演,此系列活动的高潮是在比利时皇宫内为皇室成员上演传统的圣诞音乐会。2019年夏,二人曾赴上海巡演。

20199月,克里斯蒂安·佩尔西翁离开比利时去开启新生活。在6个月的空档期之后,卢森堡手风琴家弗林·沃尔特加入,他与皮埃尔·冯特奈尔携手,重新构想二重奏的蓝图,而这一次,他俩取名奇亚斯玛二重奏

20174月,此组合在第六届法国欧帕尔手风琴国际手风琴比赛中荣获室内乐组别一等奖。皮埃尔和弗林二人斩获多项国际大奖的同时,各自也在独奏表演与教学事业上有所发展。这两位音乐家追溯文化源头并从中汲取养分,其音乐会曲目大胆结合古典与当代风格,此外还注入了流行风格的音乐编曲以及杂烩元素。古典流行拼置于一处,曲风界限不再明晰,这也是对音乐分门别类做法的质问。奇亚斯玛二重奏意识到当代音乐之根本重要性并热切企盼与作曲家合作,他们希望能委约匹配其技艺的新作,并愿鼓励作曲家们探索大提琴-手风琴这一全新的二重奏声响世界。

人人享其乐

奇亚斯玛二重奏坚信文化具有团结大众的力量,也相信音乐是普世皆知的语言,因而他们将人人享其乐定为自身使命。大提琴与手风琴的结合可谓优势明显:技巧上的阻碍极少,且各类场所——从充满亲密氛围的厅堂到更普通的音乐厅、从学校到极少排演古典音乐的音乐节——均适合演奏。皮埃尔和弗林还将音乐送至监狱、医院、养老院等处,热心为那些隔离在文化生活之外的人们演奏。此组合还积极联袂博物馆和艺术展,共同策划量身打造的特别活动。

曲风多样化

奇亚斯玛二重奏因其丰富多样的曲目满足了所有观众的期许——不论他们是古典乐迷还是其他乐迷——同时也令他们感知到各类音乐中的新鲜味儿。这两位音乐家追溯各自渊源并从中汲取养分,其音乐会曲目大胆结合古典与当代风格,此外还注入了所谓的流行音乐编曲以及杂烩元素。古典流行拼置于一处,曲风界限不再明晰,这也是对音乐分门别类做法的质问。奇亚斯玛二重奏意识到当代音乐之根本重要性并热切企盼与作曲家合作,他们希望能委约匹配其技艺的新作,并愿鼓励作曲家们探索大提琴-手风琴这一全新的二重奏声响世界。

重观众情谊

奇亚斯玛二重奏最为重视的是与观众结成纽带,以便更好的分享情感。两位音乐家坚信,只有在轻松友好的氛围中才能收获难忘的夜晚和最感动人心的时刻,而与公众的交流沟通是关键所在。

 


 

Duo Kiasma

Together, Pierre Fontenelle and Frin Wolter form the Duo Kiasma, boldly traveling across different stylistic horizons by combining the sounds of their respective instruments, the cello and the accordion, in an unclassifiable repertoire. Through their creativity, spontaneity and modernity, these two young virtuosos share their personal vision of the role of the musician in the 21st century.

Originally born out of the meeting between Pierre Fontenelle and accordionist Cristian Perciun as the Duo Made in Belgium in 2016, the duo regularly plays in Belgium, France and Luxembourg and has been programmed in festivals such as les Festivals de Wallonie, le Festival Accordé'Opale, Le Royal Juillet Musical de Saint-Hubert, or the Musicorum Festival and has performed in prestigious Belgian venues such as the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel and the Philharmonie de Liège. In December 2018, the Duo participated in the Christmas Concerts of la Monnaie and of the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, the project culminating with the traditional Christmas Concert at the Royal Palace for the Belgian Royal Family. In summer 2019, they performed in Taiwan and in Shanghai and are set to return to Taiwan in summer 2021.

In September 2019, Cristian Perciun left Belgium for a new life. After six months of hiatus, the Luxembourgish accordionist Frin Wolter joined Pierre Fontenelle in reimagining a future for the duo, the Duo Kiasma.

In April 2017, the Duo received a First Prize at the 6th International Accordion Competition Accordé'Opale (France) in Chamber Music. Pierre and Frin, prizewinners in numerous international competitions, simultaneously pursue careers as soloists and teachers.

In concert, the two musicians draw on their cultural roots to put together a program that daringly combines classical and contemporary music alongside arrangements and medleys of so-called “popular” music. This juxtaposition between the "classical" and "popular" worlds blurs the boundaries between the genres, calling into question the relevance of musical categorization. Aware of the fundamental importance of contemporary music and enthusiastic about the idea of collaborating with composers, the duo wishes to commission new pieces for their training and encourages these composers to venture into a new sound universe, that of the cello-accordion duo.

Music for all

The Duo Kiasma, convinced of the unifying power of culture and the universal language of music, has set itself the task of reaching out to everyone. The combination of the cello and the accordion offers the advantage of being very little limited by technical constraints and allows the duo to perform everywhere, from the intimate halls and the more usual concert halls to schools, and festivals where classical music is rarely programmed. Eager to offer their music to all those who are generally excluded from cultural life, Pierre and Frin go to places such as prisons, hospitals, retirement homes... The duo also enjoys developing tailor-made concepts in collaboration with museums and art exhibitions for special occasions.

Diversity

Thanks to the diversity of its repertoire, the duo is able to meet the expectations of all audiences (classical or otherwise) while making them discover new facets of music, of all kinds. In concert, the two musicians draw on their respective roots to put together a program that daringly combines classical and contemporary music with their arrangements and medleys of so-called “popular” music.

Aware of the fundamental importance of contemporary music and enthusiastic about the idea of ​​collaborating with composers, the duo wishes to commission new pieces for their training and encourages these composers to venture into a new sound universe, that of the cello accordion duo.

Friendliness

The Duo Kiasma wants above all to be close to its audience, to better share their emotions with them. The two musicians are convinced that unforgettable evenings and the most moving moments are only obtained with a relaxed atmosphere. Communication with the public is essential.
