Lydie Auvray – Salut! Et Merci – Kulturzentrum Pumpwerk, Wilhelmshaven

About this event

The “Grande Dame of the accordion” has carved an extraordinary artistic path: 24 highly successful albums over 47 years, and now she approaches her 50th stage anniversary with graceful, light-footed steps. In spring 2025, Lydie Auvray launched her German tour “Salut! Et merci,” a musical journey through and across her life. Audiences experience her striking versatility—from lilting musette and fiery tangos to her deeply personal chansons, from world-music colors and jazzy inflections to filmic atmospheres. With ease and gentle irony, she introduces her pieces—and her life—charmingly, intelligently, and intimately. This irresistible blend of natural joie de vivre and commanding artistry makes Lydie Auvray’s concerts unforgettable.
