The character of this French duo—Lucienne Renaudin Vary and Félicien Brut—is perfectly captured by the adjectives: virtuosity, lightness, and unbridled musical imagination. Their performances are characterized by the fresh, colorful sound of their instruments, and their repertoire reveals a seamless dialogue between classical music, tango, jazz, and contemporary music.

The French daily Le Monde gave Lucienne Renaudin Vary the nickname "la fée trompette"—the trumpet fairy. It is no wonder. She is an outstanding instrumentalist and a virtuoso who feels perfectly at home in both classical and swinging repertoires. Parisians vividly remember her performance alongside the Orchestre National de France on July 14, 2020, at the Eiffel Tower, broadcast live on French television.

She is a truly colorful figure. She was the first student at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris (CNSM) to study both classical and jazz courses simultaneously.

• In 2021, she won the Opus Klassik award in the "Young Artist" category.
• In 2025, she received the Opus Klassik for "Instrumentalist of the Year".
• In August 2026, she is set to receive the prestigious Leonard Bernstein Award at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival.

At the Break in Classic festival, Lucienne Renaudin Vary will perform in a duo with accordionist Félicien Brut, who captivates audiences worldwide with his effortless virtuosity and a special kind of warm musicality. He is a laureate of many prestigious awards and passionately passes his motto—"to take the accordion where no one expects it"—on to his students and audiences alike.

One of his recent performances perfectly reflected this maxim. On July 26, 2024, he appeared on screens all over the world during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris. He played Édith Piaf's "La Foule" on the Austerlitz Bridge, enveloped in an impressive tricolor mist, just as the boats carrying the Olympic national teams began to sail out from under the structure.
