“From classical music to flamenco”
The Alliance Française du Bengale cordially invite you to a musical evening with Serge Lopez (guitar) and Nathalie Marin (piano) at ITC Sonar, (opposite Science City), Friday 13th of February at 7:00 pm.
Serge Lopez and Nathalie Marin met during a concert with the Symphony Orchestra of Cannes: they both wished to combine their respective music – flamenco and classical music. The colors and the very particular sound of flamenco guitar serve to the sensual music of Debussy, Ravel or Massenet. Serge Lopez also interprets compositions of his own repertoire, inspired from jazz and flamenco.
On the program
Sous les nuages, Paseo en Cadix, Sur, Nomada, Barrio Latino , La Familia, Apallosa, Quisiera, compositions by Serge Lopez and Gymnopédie by Erik Satie, Pavane by Faure, Danse profane danse sacrée , ballade by Debussy, Habanera by Maurice Ravel…
Serge Lopez and Nathalie interpret this program mainly with symphonic orchestras but they also play it in duo piano guitar, in Tirana (Albania), Quito (Ecuador), la Habana (Cuba) and in France.
About the duo
- Serge Lopez
Born in Casablanca (Morocco) Serge Lopez grew up in Toulouse (Southern France) and lived in Andalusia for several years. The crossing of his origins have inspired him and brought to his work shades and perfumes from the Mediterranean. From this cultural melting pot, he has developed tolerance and open‐mindedness, which we can hear in his music where several universes are mixed to become one. His projects led him to collaborate with the Brazilian musician Rio Renato de Resende, the French singer Francis Cabrel (« Des roses et des orties», 2008), or the French artist Stéphane Mondino («Roll Over», 2007). He played several times with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ecuador (2012/2013). In 2013 he is invited by the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba, by the Symphony Orchestra of Guayaquil (Ecuador).
