Patrick Rondat

On March 27, 2026 at L’Empreinte in Savigny-Le-Temple, Patrick Rondat unfolds on stage his instrumental metal at the crossroads of heavy, prog and classical influences. A prominent guitarist since the 1980s, who has toured with Jean‑Michel Jarre and taken part in Joe Satriani’s G3 venture, he presents a set in which melodic themes and tempo changes structure pieces written as true movements, closer to the classical form than to verse‑and‑chorus songcraft.

Around his album Escape From Shadows, he explores free formats—between neoclassical surges, drifting textures and hard‑rock energy—with technique serving the composition. He appears surrounded by his touring band, Patrice Guers on bass, Dirk Bruinenberg on drums and Manu Martin on keyboards, for an organic sound that leaves room for B3 colors, piano and arrangements with orchestral touches.

Between signature pieces like “Amphibia” or “An Ephemeral World” and more recent compositions, this concert weaves a clear path through Patrick Rondat’s universe, conceived as much for attentive listening as for live impact.
