Quatuor LGBS

Marie Schwab, viola & Soizic Lebrat, cello & Anouck Genthon, violin & Patricia Bosshard, violin

@ Jean-Claude Sarrasin, Périscope Lyon 2023

Formed in 2017, this french-swiss string quartet LGBS consisting of Patricia Bosshard, Soizic Lebrat, Anouck Genthon and Marie Schwab is nourished by differents wishes : improve in four-voices gathered in the instant of listening and favor meetings and plural writings by inviting others artists to share the space-time of their musical research and sound creations. The four-musicians focuse on the gesture as a specific-quartet catalytic playing, and on his deployment in the space. They develop a writing which anchors in desire of ensemble sound made by the convergence and the overlap of complementary sonorities. That brings a sound material which is continually spread out, living and moving within its own transformation. Enriched by the diversity and the transversality of their differents experiences, these four-musicians create together an unusual and singular sound synergy.
