Didier Laloy Symphonic at PIF 2022 with clarinettist Fabrizio Meloni in Castelfidardo (30 September)
Didier Laloy will perform at PIF 2022 with clarinettist Fabrizio Meloni and The Calabria Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Volodymyr Runchak
Didier Laloy discovered the accordion from the age of 13 and from there he became recognized as one of the most active representatives of the renaissance of the diatonic accordion in Europe. Over the years he has defined his style through the “freedom of creation”, which consists in following his personal needs and, above all, in bringing his audience to places still unknown. He has collaborated with many talented artists both on the Belgian and international scene, also carrying out personal projects.
On the clarinet there will be Fabrizio Meloni, first solo clarinet of the Orchestra del Teatro and Filarmonica della Scala since 1984. Fabrizio has toured in the United States and Israel with the Italian Wind Quintet. With the Nuovo Quintetto Italiano he has actively toured in South America and South East Asia. His concert tour in Japan with P. Moll and I Solisti della Scala was met with enthusiastic acclaim from audiences and critics. He has numerous recordings to his credit.
The Calabria Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Volodymyr Runchak will accompany the two musicians throughout the performance.

DUPLEX : Première Mondiale à au Centre Culturel de Dinant le 25 septembre 2021 à 20h00
DUPLEX est la rencontre de 2 musiciens renommés de la scène belge, Didier Laloy (accordéon diatonique) et Damien Chierici (violon).
C’est aussi la rencontre de 2 générations et de 2 univers musicaux différents qui au départ n’étaient pas forcément appelés à se croiser un jour.
Didier a un background des musiques traditionnelles/world et est reconnu pour avoir apporté un renouveau à l’accordéon diatonique au niveau international.
Damien, lui, est issu de la foisonnante et créatrice mouvance de la scène «pop/rock» liégeoise.
En mars 2020, le temps du COVID-19 est arrivé et a poussé les artistes à se réinventer et explorer de nouveaux horizons.
L’occasion était belle pour eux deux de se lancer dans une nouvelle aventure musicale et de créer DUPLEX où ils fusionnent leurs influences saupoudrées de world, d’electro-pop et d'ambiances cinématographiques.
Un carnet de voyages rêvés, surréalistes et fantasmés à la sauce belge fait de rencontres multicolores et de saveurs épicées.
Afin de compléter le casting du groupe, ils emmènent dans leurs bagages les supers musiciens que sont Olivier Cox (batterie) et Quentin Nguyen (claviers).

Covid-19 crisis: Zig Zag World joins FBMU
May 26, 2020
After various discussions and exchanges between bookers and managers of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, we are proud to announce the birth of the FBMU, the Federation of United Bookers and Managers.
The FBMU studies the problems linked to the professions it represents and its sector. It brings new expertise and new insights thanks to the shared experiences and solidarity of its members.
It was set up in April 2020, in the spirit of consultation triggered by the COVID-19 crisis. Its aim is to represent its members and their professions before political bodies and the cultural sector, notably via its seat on the CCMA (Comité de Concertation des métiers des Musiques Actuelles).
