Ladies Balakai searching collaborations – Music

Ladies Balakai is a musical duo born from the improbable but perfect meeting between Fiona Mclaughlin, English flautist, and Déborah Colucci, French harpist. It all starts simply: Straight from across the Channel, Fiona finds Déborah on the networks, offers her a cup of tee and some cakes, love at first sight is immediate. From this alchemy a unique musical universe is born, where neo-classical influences meet the captivating rhythms of the Balkans, creating vibrant and deeply original compositions.
But Ladies Balakai doesn’t stop there. The duo is embarking on an ambitious project: meeting women musicians around the world. Together, they will unite their sensibilities and their musical cultures to create new works, while highlighting the essential place of women in the professional musical environment.
Ladies Balakai is much more than a duo. It is a human and artistic adventure, a celebration of diversity and collective creation, carried by two visionary and feminist artists determined to reinvent musical boundaries.

    It was based on a simple observation that we decided to create this association: some people can no longer travel to concert halls. Indeed, a large number of elderly, frail or hospitalized people are dependent on the place where they live and seek treatment; in this case, it is up to musicians to travel to them. Taking the principle of an orchestral tour, we are a traveling ensemble of young musicians who travel around France to give concerts in associative EHPADS, mainly. We want to treat these places in the same way as the most beautiful concert halls, so we hold classical music concerts with ensembles of variable geometry.
