DUO ZIRIAB

Since 2019, the Duo Ziriab, formed by Lisa Meignin on flute and Gaspard Schlich on guitar, stands out for its atypical and hybrid musical identity. With an attraction for both contemporary and traditional repertoire, the two musicians explore the connection between the two, constantly creating new programs where these two repertoires intersect.

They have recently performed at the Odéon and Malakoff theaters in the Paris region, and in 2022, they received support from DRAC Grand Est for their project ‘Musiques and Improvisation’. With an interest in promoting and appreciating the music they love, they have started their careers by reaching out directly to audiences considered ‘remote’.

They organize meetings during three summers in different regions, using bicycles for ecological reasons, and they recorded their first album on this occasion. Their commitment to classical music is reflected in their participation as finalists in two prestigious international competitions in Spain. They collaborate with Ensemble Accroche Note (Strasbourg) and are currently studying with Armand Angster at the Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin and with Jens McManama (Ensemble Intercontemporain) at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris. With a special connection to Spain, where they lived in Seville and Barcelona for two years, they collaborate with Catalan composer Feliu Gasull and are acquainted with Agustí Fernández.

In 2023, they were selected to participate in various festivals in France and Germany, and in 2024 they won the 2nd Prize at the Re_Cre@ International Chamber Music Competition.
