LOUISE ET VILMORIN
Louise et Vilmorin is an adventurous guitar and vocal duet who create multilingual and original music with a modern jazz sensibility. Their intimate concerts take listeners through Arabic poetry, European folk songs, and jazz standards with a sophisticated harmonic language and a symbiotic interactive playfulness that showcases their virtuosity, intuition, and high energy.
Having performed in both Germany and the US, the duo has garnered an appreciative following that continues to grow. The jazz duet will be on tour in Belgium and Germany in June this year.
“The duet has retained the name LOUISE ET VILMORIN to offer us an intimate and captivating repertoire.” ILLICO! 68, June 2023, Claude Colpaert
“…a wonderful piece of art that takes you away in a fascinating world…”
Geert Ryssen, Full Circle Music Blog, July 2nd, 2022
