Alard is a French classical guitarist known for his interpretations of both established repertoire and contemporary compositions. His style is characterized by technical precision, nuanced phrasing, and a focus on bringing a lyrical quality to the instrument, often exploring both delicate and powerfully dynamic performances.

Les Récollets is a historic building in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, originally constructed as a Recollect monastery in the 17th century – the Recollects being a branch of the Franciscan order. Throughout its history, it has served multiple purposes including functioning as a hospital and later a school. In recent decades, Les Récollets has been renovated and repurposed as a cultural venue hosting concerts, exhibitions, and conferences. The space retains significant architectural features from its monastic past, including cloisters and vaulted ceilings, contributing to its unique acoustic properties and atmosphere. It’s become an important location for artistic events within the Basque Country region of France.
