„Le Chardon”,

„Le Chardon” is a beautiful flower that represents the beauty of music, but yet is not too shy to admit that there are thornes as well. The music is not only willing to comfort the listener, it moves him, gets him to reflect, expresses grief and joy to him.

„Le Chardon” has many different faces
