For us, each concert is a narrative where the instruments meet and intertwine. The trio sonata grants us the freedom to craft spontaneous, authentic dialogues, while exploring a rich and diverse repertoire that we joyfully share with our audience.
Biography
In Irish mythology, the Banshee is a messenger from another world. The four musicians of The Banshies felt the need to form their own ensemble to create a safe space that allows them to experiment freely. They focus on communication and listening, abolishing any sense of hierarchy.
In The Banshies, no instrument is king: violins accompany the cello or harpsichord and step back for a solo cello piece. Their world is built on friendship, shared passions, diverse cultures, and the music, literature, and visual arts that inspire them.

A CONCERT
LIKE A STORY
- Their concerts always follow a guiding thread: telling a story through music. Each program is crafted like a journey, seamlessly blending great Baroque repertoire with traditional melodies and transcriptions.
- They also enjoy adapting their programs to suit different audiences. With « Let Thy Charms », their English music program with mezzo-soprano, they explore various interpretations—instrumental, without harpsichord, as a string trio, or even as a violin duo—offering a fresh perspective on the same musical narrative.

We are looking forward to their first album...”
