BRETON SONGS
@ 20h Portugal || 21h France
(online via zoom for max 35 people)
Kevin was six when in Disney's Aristocats he saw a cartoon cat play the harp with its paws. This was it: he decided that his hands needed to learn that masterful elegance. Indeed, without further ado, that same year he started learning the instrument.
Later as a teenager, he made another important discovery: he owned a pristine voice. A voice which – had he not been born in Brest, Brittany – would have been recruited immediately by teenage pop music producers! This very voice, luckily for the local tradition, was perfect for performing the Breton repertoire, which he started to explore.
The setting for developing his talent was but perfect: he grew up amidst the local obsession with Celtic music, spending his summers at festivals dedicated to Irish, Scottish and Breton tradition. Soon he started composing his own poetry and play it over his modern and dynamic interpretation of the harp. While he writes in French, he eagerly invites words Gallo, one of the langues d'oïl spoken in Brittany.
In 2019 Kevin won the first prize and public admiration at an Interceltique Festival in Lorient, affirming himself as a young composer invigorating and developing the local musical tradition.
During our concert, Kevin will perform his own songs as well as his personal interpretations of the Breton classics.
Who is organising this concert?
Invisible City, a non-profit on a mission to enable emerging artists to perform more and get paid fairly.
How do I see the concert?
Once you have made your donation, we’ll send you an online ticket with a secret code to our invisible private room in Zoom, for which we have a professional account for maximum quality. We do NOT RECORD the concerts and keep our virtual room intimate and cosy, limiting the participation to 35 people.
Will I have a good sound?
We make sure that the artists have the fastest internet connection possible and are properly geared. We run numerous soundchecks prior to the concert to make sure everything is tuned on the artist side! You can do your part: make sure your setup is as perfect as possible with our self-soundcheck guide.
How much should I donate?
We encourage you to make a donation on behalf of every person who participates in this online concert together with you.
We believe that 4 euros per person is fair, yet most guests usually contribute around 9 euros, so if you have the means and wish to support the artists and Invisible City further, we’d be grateful if your donation corresponds to what feels fairest to you.
You can also make a donation directly to the Invisible City account (for example, from your Revolut app or similar):

(When you make a transfer, please mention your email so that we send you the ticket!)
How much does the artist actually get?
Even before the gig starts, Invisible City guarantees 100 euros to the artist. This is our investment into the performance which provides a safety net for the artist. We make sure it is never a lottery! These funds come from reinvesting the donations from the previous performances as well as from our private sponsors who support Invisible City directly (here is how you can become one).
What the campaign receives above the 100 euro mark, we share with the artist in equal parts. In this way, we provide a guaranteed income to the artist while staying sustainable and helping more artists run more wonderful gigs.
