Tailor-made compositions

Immerse yourself in a world where music blends with France’s iconic landmarks, a harmonious fusion of art and architecture shaped by the exceptional talent of Roland Kern. Like a painter captivated by landscapes, Roland Kern creates his musical compositions directly on the sites that inspire him, offering each place a unique symphony, a sound story in its own right.

With a delicate mastery of the viola da gamba, Roland Kern uses each note like a paintbrush, each chord like a splash of colour, to create melodies that enchant and transport the listener on a sensory journey. Each place becomes a canvas, each piece a composition of unequalled richness of sound.

Far from being content with the spontaneity of the moment, Roland Kern perfects his creations with the care of an accomplished artist. In his studio, he refines every detail, polishing every note to create a musical work that is both meticulous and original, capturing the very essence of the place that inspired him.

Through his music, Roland Kern offers an immersive experience, a plunge into the history and atmosphere of each place. The notes of his viola da gamba transport us through time, inviting us to explore bygone eras (Baroque, Renaissance) while offering us a contemporary interpretation, rich in nuance and emotion.
