Since it was founded in 1980, the Debussy Quartet has become a major ensemble of the regional (around Lyon), national and international music scene by combining audacity, tradition and a diverse repertoire.

Our interior mornings
juggling and string quartet
Between balls dancing and choregraphic juggling, between balistics science and hypnotical music, Ous interior mornings combines the Collectif Petit Travers, the Debussy Quartet et language handyman-writer Jean-Charles Masseran in a ’total’ show.
The subtle balance between the musicality of juggling and the sometimes baroque, sometimes contemporary bursts of the string instruments, the graphic dramatisation and the breathtaking fluidity of the ten jugglers fills us with wonder.
Together, they share performance and grace, precision and virtuosity.
