Festival Artonov : 8 Sonneurs pour Philip Glass & The Life Cycle of a Plastic Tube

For many listeners, the Scottish bagpipe is forever tied to folk roots and traditional tunes. For Breton musician, composer, and master improviser Erwan Keravec, it serves as an open gateway into uncharted avant-garde sonic territories. Taking part in the Festival Artonov program, Keravec takes over UR Square across two consecutive evenings for a gripping 60-minute performance that shatters musical preconceptions. Pushing far past standard playing styles, he harnesses the raw acoustic force, continuous breath, and rich overtones of the instrument to craft mesmerizing contemporary soundscapes. It’s an immersive, vibrating, and soul-stirring concert experience that reveals the extraordinary versatility of an iconic instrument in a completely fresh light.
