At the borders of jazz, the guitarist offers original music from his latest album "2020", Quentin Dujardin returns to us with a LIVE concert, the result of a long collaboration with his stage partners: Manu Katché, Didier Laloy et Boris Schmidt

Composer & guitarist, Quentin Dujardin creates a unique universe around his nylon-string guitars. His musical projects are marked by lived landscapes or even people he meets along the way. Like a postcard, his music creates bridges between music from elsewhere and our Western musical heritage. His unclassifiable work thus touches on the universal. His path remains immutably attached to sound and emotion.

Notable musical collaborations include Belgian harmonica player Toots Thielemans, American producer Lee Townsend, drummer Manu Katché, Iranian singer Mahsa Vahdat, and Roma violinist Iva Bittova, as well as Bijan Chemirani, Olivier Ker Ourio, Richard Bona, Bert Joris, Nicolas Fizman, Matthieu Saglio, and many others.

His work as a composer also leads him to produce the soundtrack for the theatrical adaptation of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt's best-selling novel, Monsieur Ibrahim & des Fleurs du Coran. In 2011, Quentin Dujardin is invited to join the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation to become an artist ambassador of this association with international influence. His soundtrack for the film Ma Forêt wins an award in 2012 at the United Nations Forum on Forests. In 2022, the guitarist received prize of Best Composer at Toronto Independant Film Festival for its music on the film Paradisiac. After more than a thousand concerts, his music now counts more than 7 million streams in more than a hundred countries.
