Jozef Van Wissem, minimalist lutenist between Baroque and avant-garde

Born in Maastricht in 1962, Dutch composer Jozef Van Wissem has established himself as a distinctive figure in contemporary music by radically modernizing the image of the lute. Inspired by Baroque composers such as Sylvius Leopold Weiss, he has developed a personal style tinged with neo-Gothic aesthetics and drone music, far removed from the traditional classical repertoire.

His prolific discography includes dozens of solo albums as well as notable collaborations with Jim Jarmusch, including the album American Landscapes (2022) and the award-winning soundtrack for Only Lovers Left Alive, which earned him the Cannes Soundtrack Award 2013. More recently, he released the album The Night Dwells in the Day (2024) and composed the soundtrack for Pierre Creton's film Un Prince.

How to get to Molotov in Marseille?

Le Molotov concert venue, located in Marseille's lively Cours Julien district, is accessible by RTM metro. From Saint-Charles station, take line 2 towards Sainte-Marguerite Dromel and get off at Notre-Dame-du-Mont, about a 5-minute walk from the venue. Several RTM bus routes also serve the district. Weekend services run later, making it easier to get home after the concert.

For those arriving by car, the Cours Julien district can be reached from the Canebière, about 10 minutes from the Vieux-Port. However, be aware of the narrow streets and heavy evening traffic. The closest car parks are Parking Indigo Marseille Cours Julien (300 m, a 5-minute walk) and Parking Jean Jaurès (500 m, a 10-minute walk). On-street parking is available, but limited. For people with reduced mobility, the venue has a level-access entrance and adapted toilets.

Our tip: take RTM metro line 2 to Notre-Dame-du-Mont, just a 5-minute walk from Molotov, to avoid parking difficulties in this busy evening district.

Molotov's programme doesn't stop there: the venue will soon host the Mol + Guest concert at Molotov, another great opportunity to enjoy Marseille's live music scene.
