Grand Ensemble Koa presents Résistances, a new contemporary jazz creation, at Victoire 2 in Montpellier. The premiere takes place on 28 January 2027 as part of Festival Koa Jazz, and the performance is staged in the venue's Grande salle, where the audience stands.
About the concert
Résistances sets poetry and literary texts to music. The ensemble brings the spoken and written word into a jazz framework, so listeners can follow the texts as they are woven into the sound. As a premiere, the programme is a first public hearing of this creation.
The venue and the evening
Victoire 2 is a concert venue in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. Because the Grande salle is a standing-room space, it suits visitors who like to move closer to the stage and feel the music at close range. The concert is part of the wider Festival Koa Jazz programme, so it may appeal to anyone interested in new jazz work during the festival season.
