The Dix-Huit welcomes Richard Galliano for an exceptional evening.

His dearest wish has always been to give the accordion the place he deserves, far from the image of the “poor piano”. For him, he was always a Steinway straps.

After leaving his native village for Paris, Richard Galliano had the chance to collaborate with great artists such as Claude Nougaro, Serge Reggiani, Barbara, Chet Baker, Charlie Haden, Ron Carter and Michel Portal, as well as accordionists Joss Baselli and André Astier.

In the early 1980s, his meeting withAstor Piazzolla gives rise to deep friendship and several common creations. Later, between 2010 and 2016, he recorded four albums dedicated to Bach, Vivaldi, Nino Rota and Mozart for the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label.
