Les Mélodînes Lunchtime Concert Series Presents

Duo Contracello (cello and bass)

Sophie Coderre (cello) and Francis Palma-Pelletier (bass)

The Duo Contracello stemmed from double-bassist Francis Palma-Pelletier’s desire to promote his instrument in the realm of chamber music. The ensemble performs an eclectic repertoire, ranging from late baroque to the romantic era while exploring tango, jazz and bossa-nova rhythms. They entertain their listeners with a range of emotions afforded by the unique combination of sound, providing privileged moments of joy and relaxation, stirring up a nostalgia that arouses smiles as well as tears…
