Obradovic-Tixier Duo live in Marseille

Experience Obradovic-Tixier Duo live on July 7th

The Obradovic-Tixier Duo will perform at Friche Belle de Mai in Marseille, France on July 7, 2026. This duo features Julien Oberdiéric on piano and Nicolas Tixier on vibraphone, creating a musical style that blends jazz improvisation with contemporary composed music and elements of European classical traditions. Their compositions often explore textural soundscapes and rhythmic complexity, drawing influence from both the melodic sensibilities of impressionism and the harmonic freedom of modern jazz. They are known for their dynamic interplay and nuanced performances.

Friche Belle de Mai is a significant cultural center housed within a former tobacco factory in Marseille’s 8th arrondissement. Originally constructed in 1925 as a Société Marseillaise de Tabacs factory, it fell into disuse following the decline of the tobacco industry in the late 20th century. In 1989, it was occupied by artists and cultural associations who advocated for its preservation as a space for artistic expression.
