Lysandre Donoso
Bandoneon
Lysandre was born from a Chilean father and a French mother. He started his studies at 6 in the Conservatory of Lyon. Thanks to the bandoneon he inherited from his grandfather, he quickly began to be passionate about Tango and Argentinian music.
Lysandre decided to stop his engineer studies in 2010 and dedicate himself to the music. He joined the Conservatory of Rotterdam (Codarts) under the teaching of Gustavo Beytelmann, Víctor Villena and Leo Vervelde amongst others. In parallel of his studies, he has been multiplying the professional experiences: the Silbando orchestra, the Emedea quintet, the Sónico ensemble, Juan José Mosalini’s grand orchestra, etc...
Lysandre is now a reference in tango and one of the most requested bandoneonists in Europe. He’s been accompanying many theatrical works and operas, one with the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse; he is playing as a soloist in the Orchestre National de France, and in several European projects; he performs in some of the greatest halls in Europe like the Royal Albert Hall (London), the Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg), the Salle Pleyel (Paris), the Bozar (Brussels), the Berlin Konzerthaus, etc…
Rovira 100: A Celebration of the Unknown
Astor Piazzolla once said that ‘there were times when Rovira was more revolutionary’ than he himself was. It was with the aim of recovering the unjustly forgotten legacy of Eduardo Rovira, one of the most innovative figures in the history of tango, that the ensemble Sonico was formed in 2015. Recovering many scores from archives and through transcriptions of recordings, Sonico has become, according to Rolling Stone magazine, one of the ten most important contemporary tango groups. A Celebration of the Unknown marks the centenary of Rovira’s genius and mystery.
