Kumquat concert at Château de la Roche

Kumquat is a 100% local and organic vitamin shot for those who want to dance!

Formed in 2023, this neo-traditional Irish music quartet sometimes ventures into Scottish or Breton territory, or even composes original pieces. Their repertoire includes tunes (traditional pieces) ranging from the Baroque era to contemporary works. Always keeping an attentive ear to highlight tradition and its many specificities, Kumquat has fun and develops its own style with bold arrangements that explore classical and jazz colours. This blend creates a rich and intimate artistic tone, whose different facets are revealed throughout the sets during concerts, alternating between melodious tunes and lively dances.

The quartet consists of Noémie de Rham on violin, Cécile Willa on Irish and classical flutes, Larisa Strelnikova on accordion and Jérémie Stricker on bodhràn and percussion.
