Tango pour Claude - Duo Syrius
Julien Gonzales is one of the most charismatic representatives
of the French younger generation of accordionists. He
won the Primus Ikaalinen in 2007, and a couple of years
earlier he had already formed the duo together with
the phenomenal clarinettist Cyril Carbonne at the Dijon
music conservatory.
Aged only a little over 20 years, the young musicians
have created a great career in France in just a few
years, and have performed on the international arena
as well. In addition to Europe, they have played in
e.g. Tunisia, Canada and Madagascar. Last year Duo Syrius
won the group competition at the Coupe Mondiale with
their incomparable performance. The bands home
country is readily recognizable from the duos
varied repertoire: the French charm is present all the
time, the accordion and clarinet sounds merge together
as one, and their virtuoso skills amaze time and time
again.
Their repertoire includes Mozart, Satien and Bartoks
music, and included on the Ikaalinen concert are works
from the repertoire of Richard Galliano and Django Reinhardt.
