Marc Ducret solo
“Playing alone is always for me a touchstone: where am I in music, and where do I want to go? On my last solo tour I played mainly music from my « Tower » project; this one is going in a different direction, with music from my different groups Métatonal and Morse – but arranged for solo guitar in a more open version, which can be stretched to many variations according to the mood of each concert. I shall also play pieces written specially by me or other composers for solo purposes, and continue exploring Bartok’s infinite world of music.”
Marc Ducret – June 2017

Marc Ducret trio featuring Liudas Mockunas
“21 years now, and this trio his still kicking and willing to share intense musical moments with audiences all over the world. Over the years, Liudas and I have been playing together in numerous projects, from the groups « Toxicum » and the Copenhagen Art Ensemble to the current duo; but it’s the first time I have the pleasure to invite him with my trio. We are thrilled to come back to the Vilnius Jazz Festival and we feel privileged to share the stage with such a great musician, a very refined voice on all reed instruments!”
