CrozPhonics, accordion and cellos, BFM Centrale, Limoges

BFM Centrale de Limoges

On Saturday 28 November 2026 at 09:30 the BFM Centrale library in Limoges hosts CrozPhonics, a trio of two cellos and accordion, as part of the Eclats d'Email Jazz festival 2026. The trio is led by the accordionist Charles Kieny, with Lina Belaïd and Sary Khalifé on cello. The listing says that despite its chamber-music sound, the trio plays genuine creative jazz linked to an imagined folklore, shaped by improvisers steeped in European and Eastern cultures. It also mentions a Fondation Lagardère jazz and classical music award and a finalist place in the Jazz à La Défense 2025 competition. Entry is free, subject to available seats, and the morning session runs from 09:30 to 11:00. A quiet morning concert like this is easy to enjoy alone, since listeners simply sit and take in the music. «Ne vous laissez pas tromper par leur approche sonique « chambriste », la musique du trio est un véritable Jazz de création» Starts 09:30, ends about 11:00.

Free drawn concert for Miles Davis at 100, at a Limoges library

BFM de l'Aurence

On Friday 27 November 2026 at 18:00 the Aurence library in Limoges stages a concert dessiné, a live drawn concert, in the Éclats d'Émail Jazz festival. The saxophonist and composer Silvia Ribeiro Ferreira plays while the Syrian caricaturist Ali Hamra draws live. The programme marks 100 years since the birth of Miles Davis on 26 May 1926 and follows four periods of his career, starting with his meetings with Charlie Parker and bebop, then John Coltrane and modal jazz, then Wayne Shorter and later jazz. It also visits halls where he made history. The listing says entry is free subject to available seats. The concert runs about an hour and a half. Watching music and drawing happen together gives a lone visitor something to look at and talk about afterwards. «la mise en musique et en espace Live de futures productions graphiques» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:30.

Free blues duo concert at the Bastide library in Limoges

BFM de la Bastide

On Saturday 21 November 2026 at 14:00 the Bastide branch of the Limoges municipal library hosts the Laure Mura Duo for the Éclats d'Émail Jazz festival. Laure Mura sings and plays guitar and Terence Brenchley plays violin in a programme that follows the blues from its roots in the Mississippi Delta through gospel, folk and early rock to jazz. The listing opens with a line attributed to Ali Farka Touré, that America has only the leaves of the blues while the roots are in Africa. Entry is free subject to available seats. The concert lasts about an hour and a half, and it takes place on a Saturday afternoon inside a neighbourhood library. That is a gentle way to hear live music alone: the audience is local, the setting is relaxed, and you can sit near the back and just listen. «embarquez pour un voyage musical hors du temps» Starts 14:00, ends about 15:30.
