Quatuor Ebène usually end their concerts with something jazzy as an encore, and those improvisations became very popular with fans -- which is why they recently released a CD called Fiction with special appearances of Natalie Dessay [who sings in her normal voice], Stacey Kent, and Luz Casal.
Tomorrow, November 15 @ 20:00 (cet) at Folies Bergère in Paris all these artists will perform with Yours Truly in the audience. Good news is that all of you guys can see and listen to the same concert thanks to the medici.tv portal who will provide live-webcast on this link. It's free but you have to register (if you didn't already).
this quartet is not playing often in Paris (to say the least). If you check out the sched on their web-site you'll see that they will only be performing in Paris at the Chatelet theater, one morning (sic!) in April of 2010. Yes, you guessed it right, France is often bizarre. But hey, we love it for other reasons. ;)
Instead of prattling about how wonderful Quatuor Ebène are, here is a cool video of their take on the Pulp Fiction theme, as an encore at the 2008 Verbier Festival (video from medici.tv). Enjoy!
