As a composer she draws as much from Ravel as from Bach, ancient modes and overtone singing, conceiving her work as the marriage of West and East, past and modernity intertwining each other.

To be a musician and a mom is taking a lot of risks and uncertainties. It’s an exciting, lively and crazy path! Playing concerts, looking for a job are like going on the roads and letting the adventure unfold under one’s feet. Pitfalls, puddles, imperfections, summits limp and drag the measure, but at the end there is always this gushing light crossing the fault: the harmony and the shared joy of the Present!

Young saxophonist graduated at the Mâcon and Lyon Conservatories (classical and jazz), Yonatan Hes was drowned as a child in a musical universe. He explores different universes: jazz, classical, Indian, Balkan, klezmer, rock, folk, while learning also drums, piano, guitar and double bass. In 2019 he obtained scholarships to undertake a music license at several schools in the USA and chose the Berkeley School of Music (Boston) where he could go back to the roots of jazz and find the musicians and teachers who suited him best. The path he has chosen defines his identity and his reason for moving forward in life. However, his studies in the USA are currently interrupted, the Covid-19 pandemic forcing him to return back to France where he now studies the clarinet and the flute, while continuing to work on his musical creations and compositions.
