Ninon Valder

"Her world is woven from the winds that sweep across the globe: they bring her flutes, her bandoneon and the vibrancy of her voice to life… Ninon plays, sings and composes. Drawing on every discovery and every impression, she creates timeless musical vignettes, filled with classical music, Argentine magic, colourful jazz and African rhythms. When she plays, one hears friends and lovers, trees and birds conversing. When she sings, one is swept away into her dreams of enchanting landscapes and luminous skies. In reality, she never changes her instrument: her essential creative medium is neither music nor words. Her unique instrument is emotion, non-verbal poetry. Ninon knows how to cloak it in sound and meaning to make it compatible with our powers of perception, our here and now. And the magic takes hold: the emotion, carried on the wings of her accomplices—words and music—resonates within us.” Mariam Sarkissian FR ------> "Son univers est tissé de vents qui parcourent le monde : ils animent ses flûtes, son bandonéon, la vibration de sa voix… Ninon joue, chante, compose. A partir de chaque découverte, de chaque impression, elle crée des capsules sonores intemporelles, remplies de musique classique, de magie argentine, de jazz coloré et de rythmes africains. Son instrument unique est le sentiment, la poésie non verbale. Et la magie opère : le sentiment transporté sur les ailes de ses complices, le verbe et la musique, résonne en nous." Mariam Sarkissian
