Tournée Générale
DAY 1
Tournée Générale, 4th edition
Two tours to discover today’s music
Committed to live music in local venues, Le Périscope is partnering with 12 venues in the 1st and 7th arrondissements for two evenings of walking concerts: community bars, concert halls, small cultural venues, printing workshops, galleries, churches, and more.
2 circuits • 2 evenings • 12 venues • 12 free concerts
One concert per hour, a new venue every hour, from 6 p.m. to midnight.
On the program: alternative music—rock, folk, electronic, jazz, traditional, free. Sometimes contemplative, sometimes festive. And a collective and convivial experience, wandering and spontaneous, along the streets that cross our daily lives.
The poster for this fourth edition is by Arnaud Aubry.

Practical information
All concerts are free, open to everyone, and short in length so that you have time to get from one venue to another.
Amélia Tabeï
Amélia Tabeï is the alias of saxophonist Yohan Dumas. Thanks to his mastery of continuous breathing, he pushes the boundaries of the saxophone (alto and baritone) and brings out complex polyphonies in a single breath, where rhythms, harmonies, and melodies overlap in bewildering soundscapes. Between avant-garde, ambient, classical, modern, and world music, Amélia Tabeï’s technique […]

With lush flora and fantastical fauna, Maibaum (Dhavali Giri, Pairi Daeza) uses his multicolored melodies to paint a picture of an astonishing ecosystem in constant flux. A ride on the back of a Colorado beetle marks the start of a whimsical adventure. Quentin Thirionet took advantage of his first solo album, released on the Brussels […]

Groupe d’Album
Groupe d’Album is a raw trio—bass, guitars, drums, vocals—with furious riffs, noisy energy, and vague songs. Bruno Ducret, an active figure on the French jazz scene, has teamed up with two young talents from Lyon, Félix Lacquement (Acousmaflics) and Matthias Joannon (Wheobe). Sometimes serious, often loud, knowing how to be soft then hard: their music […]
