Mady MESPLE
Evocations full of finesse, rigor and precision, energy and passion, total symbiosis in the glances that cross each other and the songs that answer each other: a luminous game for two soul mates.
With only six strings and the singing of a flute, the Duo Sostenuto offers its audience the strength, colors and evocative power of a symphony orchestra.
Under the pen of Benoît Roulland, the works are reborn in a new form, adapted to the universe and the physiognomy of the duo.
The public can thus discover an opera, a symphony, a sonata, or a tango, in a new light.
Its original sound identity is based on a thousand-year-old tradition : like the oud and the ney in the Middle East, the magical combination of flute and guitar allows a particularly fine balance of sound and an infinite possibility of colors.
With enthusiasm and excellence, he embodies a unique artistic project, far from any a priori.

Music for all
Free of any logistic constraint, the Duo Sostenuto, performs in the usual concert halls as well as in more intimate or unusual places.
This allows them to reach all audiences, including those in rural areas, where music is generally more difficult to access.
Moreover, the programs of the Duo Sostenuto are always articulated around a theme: they tell a story, that of a period, a current or a musical form.
Each work is preceded by a presentation, intended to prepare the listener to embark on this musical journey.
The Duo Sostenuto arouses the enthusiasm of all audiences: experienced musicians, passionate listeners or those who are not initiated to classical music, all are transported by their exceptional talent.
