Concerts & Events

This installment of The Bridge, the transatlantic network for creative music, features Chicagoans Angel Bat Dawid and Nick Macri teamed up with French musicians Magic Malik, Toma Gouband, and Richard Comte.

The Bridge brings together French and North American musicians to give them space, time, and the opportunity to get to know each other, in their similarities and differences, to develop their exchanges and creative projects, in reciprocity and complementarity.

Among the oldest musical instruments in the world are the flute and the lithophone, not to mention the human voice in all its forms. Among the most “classical” musical instruments in the world are the clarinet and the guitar, yet they are also the instruments of so much popular music across the globe. They are all there, these instruments, as they are and above all transformed, and also the immense shadow of the double bass, in this quintet or this pentacle of resistance fighters, of mavericks of sounds and exclamations and interstitial silences. Of deconstructors and reconstructors.

Angel Bat Dawid — clarinets, vocals, keyboards
Magic Malik — flûte, vocals
