Sébastien Coste

Sébastien Coste plays soprano saxophone and balloons. His experience in dance, street festivals and clown decisively shaped his work. He's been stirred up by encounters with a great many musicians such as Compagnie Lubat, Joelle Léandre or Steve Lacy. Through his eclectic projects he also met – among others – Will Guthrie, Catherine Jauniaux, Barre Phillips or Shadi Fathi. He's now involved in his Earthly Bird quartet – along with singer Benat Achiary, drummer Edward Perraud and guitarist Julien Desprez. Quite an eclectic character, he's also playing with the famous crazy Rosette rock band and in a fairy hiphop duet called Peter Panpan. He co-started the Compagnie Brouniak in 2009. Since then, he has created two solos : Baudruche and Feathers in the Ear, both musical shows.

Previous appearances in London have included a memorable duet with Terry Day and, thanks to his lasting partnership with Guillaume Viltard, he has also performed with Eddie Prévost, Tony Marsh, and more recently Seymour Wright & Paul Abbott.
