The
Duo Jean-Michel
GOURY – Yves JOSSET
was created in 1985 and has made it its task to create and promote
contemporary music for Saxophone and piano in collaboration
with
to-day’s composers.
It is an original fenture of this duo of French musicians to offer the public several programmes ranging from “ classical concerts” (adding to the ensemble “Apollinaire” with a second keyboard and flute) to shows of “café-litteraire” type. Many composers have dedicated their works to them : Levaillant, Chassain, Grouvel, Lauba, Rolin, Rossé, Carlosema Savouret, Jakuboswki, Gubler, Minamikawa… This Duet has defended their musics through numerous recordings and concerts throughout Europe. Since many years, Goury and Josset created and organized saxophone and piano courses, whorkshops, seminars, for the practice of today’s music. They have made many tours in USA and Canada Universities since 1996: Minneapolis, Pittsburg, Montreal, Edmonton, Bowling Green, Rochester, Kansas, Michigan, Northwestern, Chicago, etc… and in over the world ( Israel, Japon, Germany…) In short, the Duo Goury – Josset is more than a simple partnership of artists. In facts, both of them are enterprising modern men, with a capacity for innovating and opening to all forms of expressions |
