Anja Lechner & François Couturier “LONTANO”

Anja Lechner and François Couturier expand the boundaries of music. Their duo sings with a unique voice—whether playing original compositions, improvisations, or works by Henri Dutilleux, Giya Kancheli, and Anouar Brahem, or drawing from a Bach cantata or an Argentine folk lament. Deeply immersed in their diverse influences and repertoire, the German cellist and French pianist uncover expressive connections across distant sources, creating new music that reflects and refracts their inspirations.
