Soprano Amel Brahim-Djelloul continues on her luminous and singular path, rich in her two cultures.

A graduate of the performance and pedagogy masters at the CNSMD in Paris, Thomas Keck moves between his activities as a performer, composer, arranger and teacher. After studying guitar and composition at the conservatoire de Marseille, he joined Roland Dyens' guitar class at the CNSMD in Paris. This place became for him a place of artistic discoveries and meetings, where he attended analysis, composition and contemporary dance classes.

In collaboration with the contemporary dance class of the CNSMD, he wrote his first plays and shows, including Souffle en Silence, presented at the Chaillol Festival. Very influenced by songs ( from rock to blues, passing by folklorist music) and by his "music lessons [...] of the sea, the wind, the rain on the trees, the light" (quote M. Ohana), Thomas Keck’s writing is focused towards a marriage of aesthetics in which he tries to bring together his classical, contemporary and popular influences.

This is how musical tales written with Alice Pfister for children's choir and orchestra were born : Un conte d’Ici et d’Ailleurs (2013), À la recherche de l’oiseau rare (2014), Le voyage de l’immobile (2015), ainsi que Lumières (2013) created at the Festival International d’Orgue of Roquevaire, Galéjades (2019), Darwin, une épopée intérieure (2020) et La ballade des monstres perdus (2021). Always very present, voice is very important in two pieces for soloist voice and instruments (2 miniatures, L’arbre reconnaissant) or in ensemble (Towards, Cri(s), Effet de nuit, Sonnet 27).

He develops then a taste for arranging, with traditional pieces or pieces by composers such as Falla, Ohana and Stravinsky for the plucked string trios and quartets of the Cbarré ensemble. With Amel Brahim Djelloul and the Chemins qui montent project, Thomas Keck once again combines classical culture and song, writing arrangements of Kabyle songs and poems by Rezki Rabia.
