MÉLODIE GIMARD TOUR DATES
Mélodie Gimard 'Numen'
Mélodie Gimard is a French pianist, composer and arranger living and working in Barcelona. Her compositions and improvisations are uniquely characterised by her studies in classical piano and flamenco. The creativity and virtuosity of this young pianist is clear, both in her musical arrangements and in the sensitivity of her touch.
Gimard is a founding member of the Pescaitos Flamenco Quartet and Trio Zuloaga and she is releasing her debut album "Numen".
Despite her youth, she has also served as Musical Director for a number of shows in various national and international festivals such as the Semaine Flamenco Festival in France and the Malaga Biennial, sharing the stage with artists such as Miguel de la Tolea, Carlos Sarduy, Moises Navarro and Jose Manuel Álvarez.
In Latin the word Numen means spiritual presence, and the album title refers to freedom ofexpression and inspiration. As a former dancer, Mel Gimard translates the movements fromFlamenco dances into music. In her compositions, we find influences from both traditional andcontemporary Flamenco.
El Chozas de Jerez, Manolo Caracol, Moraito, Bebo Valdes, IbrahimMaalouf and Tigran Hamasyan, all form part of the variated creative 'Numen' that inspiredGimard.
