Charlotte Planchou and Mark Priore

Charlotte Planchou and Mark Priore form an intimate duo in Le Carillon, where song enters a flexible jazz framework. Alongside voice and piano stands an old mechanical carillon once owned by Planchou’s grandmother, treated as an active character within the music. Its measured chimes interrupt, answer and colour the songs, adding a dreamlike, almost cinematic layer to the performance. The same idea shapes the duo’s album, but the concert remains open to change, with repertoire and interpretation adapting to the room. Priore’s playing and Planchou’s vocal presence favour detail over display, keeping emotion close to the grain of each song. At Le Blanc, the encounter becomes a live conversation among two musicians and an inherited object whose sound carries memory into a contemporary musical language.
