April 20 – Theo Girard
2:00pm – 3:30pm
Théo Girard: Théo started playing music at the age of 6 and the double bass at 16. In 2005 he went to Banff (Canada) to take part in the famous jazz workshop directed at the time by Dave Douglas, and in 2010 he founded Discobole, which would become the company behind his projects (30yearsfrom, Bulle, Pensées Rotatives, …) and a label (35 albums). As a leader, he is very attached to interaction and improvisation, and takes particular care to create forms that include the audience, such as his large circular ensemble Pensées Rotatives. Based in Paris, he loves to travel the world to discover the artists who bring creative music to life.
