Obradovic-Tixier Duo live in Paris

Experience Obradovic-Tixier Duo live on December 4th

The Obradovic-Tixier Duo will perform at Le Barbizon in Paris, France on December 4, 2026. This duo presents a distinctive musical voice blending elements of jazz improvisation with Balkan folk traditions and contemporary composed music. Guitarist Nguyên Lê and accordionist Frédéric Aurier, forming the core of the duo (though sometimes expanded), are known for their intricate interplay and explorations of rhythmic complexity, often drawing on both artists’ diverse cultural backgrounds. Their compositions frequently feature modal harmonies and evocative melodies.

Le Barbizon is a historic jazz club located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, established in 1949 by Hugues Panassié, a prominent French jazz critic and historian. It quickly became a central hub for the Parisian jazz scene, hosting legendary figures such as Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and Thelonious Monk during its early years. The club experienced periods of closure and reopening throughout its history, notably closing in 1980 before being revived in 1994 under new ownership. Today, Le Barbizon continues to champion both established and emerging jazz talent while maintaining its intimate atmosphere and commitment to live performance.
