_____________________

The Voce Quartet presents a culturally immersive program inspired by its experiences in Argentina, where the ensemble engaged with local musical traditions in Buenos Aires and Rosario, including peñas and milongas, and collaborated with Dino Saluzzi. The project features new works and arrangements by composers Fernando Fiszbein, Gabriel Sivak, and Jean-Baptiste Henry, performed alongside guitarist Pablo Márquez and bandoneon player Jean-Baptiste Henry. The repertoire spans tango and Argentine folk forms such as zamba, chacarera, cueca, and baguala, and includes tributes to Astor Piazzolla and Alberto Ginastera, highlighting the fusion of classical string writing with Argentine popular and traditional idioms.

Quatuor Voce has established itself over the past two decades as one of the most adventurous and versatile ensembles on the international chamber music scene. Prizewinners of major competitions, they have collaborated with prominent artists such as Yuri Bashmet and Gary Hoffman, and have performed worldwide in major venues from Europe to Asia and the Americas. Their artistic identity extends beyond the classical repertoire into interdisciplinary projects involving film, dance, jazz, and world music, working with figures such as Vincent Segal and Vincent Peirani. Through recordings of composers from Mozart to Bartók, critically acclaimed by major international press, and projects like Itinéraire, they explore the boundary between written and improvised music. The quartet is also active in education and festival curation, notably through their chamber music academy in Vendôme.
