Born in 1938 in Paris and raised in Brittany, Tusques was among the first to bring together French musicians to explore a new musical language in the 1960’s. He also formed connections with all the significant American avant garde players who came to Paris at that time. This is a rare opportunity to introduce Mr. Tusques to Boston.
