The C Barré Wind Trio is part of the ensemble of the same name, conducted by Sébastien Boin.

Annelise Clément on clarinets, Matthias Champon on trumpets and Joël Versavaud on saxophones were chosen for their personalities, their backgrounds and their open-mindedness. They juggle all styles of playing, even the most unexpected, and are themselves a source of inspiration for creators.
More than ten years of attentive listening by the Ensemble C Barré, a shared joy in high standards, mutual complicity and respect have given rise to a desire for a concerted repertoire and dissemination.

Their experiences and collaborations are rich and varied: prestigious orchestras and ensembles (Radio France, Auvergne, Picardie, Île-de-France, Marseille, Cannes, Toulon, Bordeaux, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Ars Nova, Musicatreize, l’Itinéraire, Le Balcon, Les Dissonances, La Rizonanza, Sinfonietta…), circus and dance companies, in classical music, baroque, musical theatre, improvisation and jazz…

All three are qualified teachers with long and extensive experience. They are keen to pass on their knowledge and know how to do so to audiences from all walks of life, for example by dynamically presenting the richness of the clarinet family (up to the contrabass) and saxophones (from sopranino to baritone), not to mention the variety of mutes for trumpets.

Their repertoire includes adaptations of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Inventions, new works (François Rossé, Alessandro Bosetti, etc.), original trios (Théo Loevendie), and of course combinations of solos or duets in response to specific requests from programmers (Scelsi, Berio, Alla, Robin, Markeas, etc.). A policy of commissioning works from composers has also been launched.
