Big Band de l'Œuf
Founded in 2003, it brings together 18 solo musicians from the Rhône-Alpes region around several original repertoires composed by Pierre BALDY-MOULINIER.
With participations in numerous festivals such as Jazz à Vienne, Beaune, RhinoJazz, or collaborations on large-scale projects with the National Orchestra of Lyon, internationally renowned artists such as Stefano Bollani, Bert Joris, Pierre Drevet, Leonard Slatkin, the group has acquired a certain maturity in the approach of the repertoire for large groups.
In recent years, this professional big band has been involved in an educational process of collaboration with music schools, providing an original repertoire for large ensembles (string orchestra, wind band, big-band choirs or combos ...) accompanied by the ŒUF.
The intensity of the commitment of each musician makes it possible to affirm the creative identity of the ensemble which is expressed in a hybridization of genres.
The goal remains, like the three albums, to "democratize" jazz music and make it accessible to a large number of people, while maintaining the "research laboratory" aspect. The whole is served by inspired musicians with communicative energy.

Projects :
l’Astro-Symphonie :
La nouvelle œuvre époustouflante du big band de l’ŒUF associe astrophysique et jazz, et nous embarque dans la vaste symphonie de l’univers.
Un éminent scientifique, chef d’orchestre, doit assurer une très sérieuse et prestigieuse conférence musicale. Le même soir, l’harmonie amateur locale a aussi réservé la salle de spectacle pour son concert annuel qui, par un hasard malheureux, porte le même nom que la réunion scientifique. En découlent de multiples quiproquos et des situations incongrues, mais l’intelligence et la pertinence de Cindy, factotum du lieu, vont permettre à tout le monde de trouver sa place dans cette soirée surprenante.
On assiste ainsi à l’alliance parfaite entre le travail d’équilibriste de l’actrice clown, la force de la musique en big band et la finesse de l’artiste plasticienne.
Laissez-vous embarquer dans cette vaste symphonie de l’univers.
Rhapsody for the Earth:
Rhapsody for the Earth, from symphonic to Jazz proposes the meeting between a symphonic orchestra, the big band of L'ŒUF and an international soloist around the compositions of Pierre BALDY-MOULINIER and Stéphane PELEGRI, composer and percussionist at the National Orchestra of Lyon.
The themes of mineral matter, terrestrial and cosmic forces served as the basis for imagining and conceiving this unique repertoire bringing together on stage no less than a hundred musicians.
Petits Plats pour Grand Ensemble :
Petits plats pour Grand Ensemble is a musical and gustatory show that offers the audience, after a tasting session, the possibility to participate in an experience where all the senses are mixed. A chef will cook live on stage, alongside the big band, dishes related to the titles chosen by the audience from a menu that will be given to them at the beginning of the show. One of the goals of this multidisciplinary performance is to "break" the 4th wall that we know in the theater in order to put the audience at the center of the creative process.
