Matthieu Saglio - Je vous salue
I SUPPORT
I used to often go to live concerts and I want to support culture and the arts without having to eat pastas for next days.
I SUPPORT
I think this initiative is amazing and I’d like to watch more exclusive live sessions. Or I’m the mum or dad of a musician performing.
I SUPPORT SMARTLY
I finally understood the principle of tax deduction and I know that for 40 € I will actually pay 22 €.*
Matthieu Saglio – Je vous salue
Thanks to an immediately distinctive sound and to a range of great diversity, the French cellist Matthieu Saglio has established himself as one of the most fascinating cello players of his generation. Out of a classical background (at the Conservatory of Rennes), he is one of the pioneers in introducing cello to flamenco with his band Jerez-Texas, which has been touring around the world since 2002. His qualities as a composer are regularly demanded for the creation of original soundtracks both for theatre and television.
In 2020, Matthieu releases a new album, ‘El camino de los vientos’ (The way of the winds), with the great label ACT. The album vibrates from all the influences which forged the musical soul of the composer and cello-player. To give substance to this universe, Matthieu invited the musicians that were important to him. El camino de los vientos is thus crossed by winds joining up from all horizons and carrying along with them major names of European jazz (Nguyên Lê, Nils Petter Molvaer, Carles Benavent, Vincent Peirani, Steve Shehan, Bijan Chemirani, etc.).
Matthieu has been a musician ambassador of the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation for many years, a network of artists that promotes sharing, respect for diversity and transmission. This network of artists aims to encourage creation between musicians from all horizons.

Les Violons de Bruxelles – Sempre Teu
Bring together the best string players in the Belgian jazz scene and you get Les Violons de Bruxelles! All around the world, the music of Django Reinhardt is celebrated, copied, immortalised and revived. Sometimes betrayed even. The most usual way to form an orchestra is to imitate the set-up of the legendary Hot Club de France Quintet, that is a violin, a solo guitar, one or two rhythm guitars, and a doublebass. Les Violons De Bruxelles re-imagine this almost sacred formula. The doublebass stays, but for the rest the traditional set-up is turned around: just one guitar and…three violins. The presence of these violins tints their interplay with polyphonic colours, but also supplies the soloist with subtle and uplifting comping, harmonically as well as rhythmically. Furthermore, the contrasting personalities of the three violinists allow a multitude of styles, emotions and swing to flourish. A fresh and original take on the string orchestra!

Marianne Aya Omac – Just a Human
Marianne Aya Omac is above all a unique, powerful, warm voice, a voice that resonates with humanist statements, supported by an amazing guitar playing and sometimes a lot of humour. Poetic, committed, funny, Marianne is a folk singer at heart, far from the standard singers, a unique artist with a strong character who favors above all, communion with her audience.
Latin music, French songs, gospel, reggae, in Spanish, French or English, her musical universe is the reflection of this resolutely borderless artist.

Antonino Talamo
Multi-percussionist, performer and teacher. I study popular and folk music from all over the world, I try to express my creativity through the instruments of the southern hemisphere, trying to do it respecting the tradition and the culture behind it. My teaching commitment and my passion for sharing and exchange are the basis of my artistic language. Currently my personal research and my work are oriented to the development of two projects: in the artistic field with “Cosaltro Esperimenti” and in the didactic field with the method of Body Percussion “Batuque Na Mao”.

ConcertWithYou & UNESDA SOFT DRINK EUROPE
Marianne Poncelet, Executive Vice-Present and co-founder of the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation in Brussels, comments: ‘’We are delighted to establish this cooperation with UNESDA Soft Drinks Europe to strengthen our mission to support the next generation of talented artists. Making our societies more inclusive and united is truly transformative and music is a powerful tool in achieving it. We are grateful to UNESDA Soft Drinks Europe for its commitment to promote artistic excellence and give new artists the chance to contribute to our society with the sound and power of their music. With this partnership, we demonstrate that we can drive change together and make a positive difference in the lives of several artists.’’
Concertwithyou was born from the need to support musicians who can no longer perform on stage. The pandemic has exposed artists to precarity and giving a voice to musicians who are voiceless is one of the priorities of the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation. You can support this initiative by making a donation to help musicians produce videos of live performance.
