On Friday 12th May, the Maltese saxophonist Carlo Muscat released his sixth album as a leader. Featuring the renowned French pianist Tony Tixier, ‘Hymns’ is a remarkable exploration of the intersection between jazz and French chansons.

With their deep reverence for the material, Muscat and Tixier have created an evocative soundscape that pays homage to the rich history of French music while also pushing the boundaries of the genre. The album is not just a collection of covers; it is a thoughtful exploration of the enduring power of these classic songs. The duo has taken these tunes and infused them with their own unique perspectives, creating a fresh and innovative take on these timeless melodies. Whether you’re a fan of French chansons or jazz, this show will transport you to another world, where the music is pure and the emotions run deep. Supported by the Ambassade de France à Malte.
