The Trans-Cultural Syn-phônê Orchestra: TCSO are huge symphonic orchestra composed minimaly with 100 musicians of arts and sound coming from different cultures of our planet. Its principle is to couple, to confront and to synthesize these different cultures and musical genre in a same "symphony" (from old Grec syn-phônê that means "together in sound at the sampe time"). The Trans-Cultural Syn-Phônê Orchestra accepts all musicians from arts and sound, without prejudice having the desire to invest her and himself in creation of the Syn-phônê NO7. Because it is its focus: the pleasure to improvise together among 100 friends, a free music of genre in spending a good time all together.
