For this last of the BE Connect Sessions, Ensemble Fractales performs a double cross-portrait of composers Eliott Delafosse and Sarah Wéry. Both have developed their own unique style, with influences from outside contemporary music.
Each one presents a work written especially for Ensemble Fractales, accompanied by a mirror piece that sheds light on their musical universe. Delafosse chose a work by Pierre Slinckx (F#2, also written for Fractales and premiered in April 2025), while Wéry offers an instrumental arrangement of SOPHIE, in which two songs by British producer Hard and Elle merge into a new proposal called Hardelle.
The two composers will explain their respective working methods and influences during the concert.

Renata Kambarova - flutes
