Noulet/ Plateau/ Wolfson

21 December 2025  E  20:00

Ornella Noulet - saxophone

Julien Plateau - clavier

Egon Wolfson - batterie

BandCamp

La rencontre entre Ornella Noulet, Julien Plateau et Egon Wolfson donne naissance à un trio dans lequel l’improvisation est moteur, souffle et terrain de jeu. Partageant un goût profond pour une musique qui se construit dans l’instant, iels oscillent entre énergie explosive, introspection et spiritualité.

Ornella relie les univers de Julien Plateau, avec qui elle développe depuis récemment une symbiose intuitive mêlant compositions, standards et improvisations libres, et celui d’Egon, avec qui elle explore depuis 2022 une voie inspirée des duos sax/batterie des années 60–70. Le duo Noulet–Wolfson (membres du groupe OLA TUNJI) est actif sur les scènes belges, marqué par la sortie de leur premier album "summer hour "(2025), 

Réunis exceptionnellement, les trois musiciens créent une musique organique où écoute, liberté et interaction dessinent des paysages sonores toujours renouvelés.

BandCamp

FreeTree is a Brussels based music collective that searches to plant trees in the cracks of the concrete jungle of Belgian ribbon development and other depressing places. FreeTree blends their original compositions with BPA-free improvisation and ecological sponges. This bassless trio creates surprising biodegradable textures with their uncommon instrumentation, consisting of piano, drums/ percussion and baritone, sopranino and alto saxophone. FreeTree likes to put contrast in their music that always moves somewhere without leaving a large carbon footprint.

Nawā was born of the encounter between cellist Adèle Viret (FR/BE) and singer and oudist Sarra Douik (TU/IT). Joined by Zé Almeida (PT/BE) on double bass and Pierre Hurty (FR/BE) on drums, they form a quartet whose soundscape blends poetic storytelling, jazz, ontemporary languages and Arab, North African traditions. In Arabic, Nawā means both “seed” and “intention”, sharing the spirit of the music; a core where diverse influences meet together and a shared desire to tell stories through it.
