David Grimal, the violinist, created "L'Autre Saison," a series of concerts in Paris to benefit the homeless.
Recording & Production
Les Dissonances launched its own label, Dissonances Records, in December 2013, which has released several recordings including a Brahms set and Mozart violin concertos.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The name "Les Dissonances" is a tribute to Mozart's "Dissonance" Quartet K465 and signifies a constructive departure from conventional thinking.
Recording & Production
All profits from two of Les Dissonances' recordings, Vivaldi and Piazzolla's The Four Seasons and Beethoven #5, were donated to the association Les Margéniaux, which supports people in social risk.
Interpretation
Les Dissonances, the artist collective on this album, performs without a conductor and with a flexible number of musicians, allowing them freedom in programming and a collective approach to symphonic repertoire.
Performer Biography
David Grimal, the violinist and artistic director of Les Dissonances, plays the "Ex-Roederer" Stradivarius of 1710 with a bow by François-Xavier Tourte.
