Pierre Gennaï - Louise Bouedo - Clément Stagnol

Like his Baroque-era predecessors, he tours France and Europe, expanding his repertoire to include roles such as Count Almaviva, Don Giovanni, and soon Marcello and Orfeo. Louise Bouedo has forged her own path, successfully blending early music, contemporary composition, pop, jazz, and musical theater, and has won numerous competitions, including the Vanves International Early Music Competition. Clément Stagnol, after earning a master’s degree in musicology at the Sorbonne, turned to the lute, winning numerous competitions. He enjoys exploring the repertoire from the early Renaissance through the late 17th century. His eclecticism leads him to draw inspiration from jazz and traditional music during his many travels.
