Bacchus Quartet

Bacchus Quartet

Although the god Bacchus (Dionysus to the ancient Greeks) conjures up images of wine and vines, he is much more than that... He is the banquet, the life force, the sap, the fire, the tragedy, the theater, the intoxication, the ecstasy...

The Bacchus Quartet is the meeting (it's banal, but that's how it is...) of four musicians who, in addition to sharing friendship and love, like to confront their different musical sensibilities through an unabashedly hybrid project. In an atypical ensemble (an oboe, two bassoons and a baritone saxophone), they mix (facetiously) influences that span the history of music, from classical to jazz to pop-music...
The Bacchus Quartet is a sort of tasting room, with a mix of grands crus, "friend's" wines, discoveries, local wines, the "little last ones for the road", and sometimes a local Trappist... Cheers!

The Bacchus Quartet is made up of Audrey Luzignant (trained in Nice, then at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Lyon, (teacher at the academies of Eupen, Liège and Malmedy and freelance musician), Joanie Carlier (trained in Lille, then at the CNSMD in Lyon, bassoon soloist with the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège), Sébastien Guedj (trained in Nice then at the CNSMD de Lyon, oboe soloist with the OPRL, professor at the Conservatoire de Liège) and Sébastien Creppe (trained in Verviers then at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège, multi-style musician).
