It has been more than ten years since French pianist Cédric Chauveau and Austrian singer Valérie Sajdik met and formed an exceptional friendship and collaboration.
With their eclectic repertoire of French and German songs from the 1920s to the present day, from Kurt Weill to Piaf, they have perfected the art of the duo.

On Thursday 5 June 2025, they will be joined by two other musicians, Michel Altier on double bass and Samuel Devauchelle on drums.

They will present their latest album, Amitiés, which they recorded largely as a quartet 🥁🎹🎤🎻 (not far from here in Lecques).

Collaboration without borders

Their new album is a manifesto for multicultural friendships, diversity, freedom and peace in a multicoloured world.
European at heart, Valérie Sajdik has a passion for Occitania and has divided her life between a small village in the Hérault and Vienna, the Austrian capital where she is from.
Cédric Chauveau plays with jazz musicians in Occitania who come from all over the world and is regularly accompanied by singers from Spain, Sweden, the United States…

A jazzy and gourmet evening

Full of vibrant jazz tinged with humour, recorded in Lecques, this album Amitiés is Occitan at heart.

The requested contribution to the association’s costs is 15 euros.
