The project of the trio VxSxPo consists in bringing something new into the traditional voice-piano scheme with an original instrument: the saxophone. In 2014, the will to work on it with the composer Gérard Condé brought together the singer Anne Fredricksen, the saxophonist Jean-Noël Auer and the pianist Julie Richard. These three musicians with rich and various careers are acknowledged for their many musical activities in Lorraine and Alsace. The “Historiettes” by Jean Francaix or the transcription of the famous Opus 91 by Johannes Brahms are the other masterpieces performed by the trio.

As a soloist, she sang the “Stabat Mater” by Pergolese, Vivaldi’s “Gloria” with different choruses from the Doubs and the Vosges as well as Vivaldi’s “Nissi Dominus” with the Franz group.
