Double Face
is an ensemble created in 2017 by cornettist Marie Garnier-Marzullo, inspired by her particular fondness for vocal music.
The programme is structured like a conversation between soprano and cornet... first with a cornett, then with a cornetto, offering remarkable colours and building bridges between the Renaissance and Romanticism.
The ensemble evolves in concert: the theorbo becomes a romantic guitar, the violone a double bass, with the support of a pianoforte or organ. The instruments played in the 19th-century repertoire are historical originals.
What a cornetto does so well: supporting the human voice, Double Face does naturally with the cornet. Old recipes, delicious in Monteverdi and his contemporaries, seduce with their surprising relevance in Mendelssohn!
Double Face presents eclectic programmes – the result of 25 years of experience – and breaks free from academic codes for an ‘unheard-of’ experience.
