Duo Kiasma — album release: Polaris (2026, Cypres)

Winners of First Prize at the Concours International Accordé’Opale and named Coup de Cœur at the Royal Juillet Musical de Saint-Hubert, Duo Kiasma stands out for the freedom and boldness of its arrangements that are neither faithful transcriptions nor simple adaptations.

POLARIS marks a decisive milestone in this nomadic journey. Like the star from which it takes its name, the album serves as a guiding point within an ever-expanding aesthetic universe. The programme offers a captivating dialogue between the Baroque era and the modern music it inspired. Discover how a famous Bach cantata can be transformed into a Beatles hit, or how Villa-Lobos’s lyrical Cantilena can burst into more rock-inspired sonorities, alongside arrangements from Rameau’s operas.
