ArteCombo is a wind quintet formed in 2007. Its members are : Mayu Sato : flûte, Baptiste Gibier : oboe, Annelise Clément : clarinet, Cyril Normand : french horn, Frank Sibold : bassoon.

ArteCombo’s aim is to create bridges between music and other arts, as shown by the following examples :

• ArteCombo accompanied the screening of “L'Assassinat du Duc de Guise” with its original music by Camille Saint-Saens, which is the first music ever written for a movie by a famous composer (1908),

• ArteCombo also commissioned and performed the musical children story "Caravane Gazelle".

Beside the traditionnal wind quintet repertoire (Ligeti, Hindemith, Françaix, etc.), ArteCombo plays its own arrangements (written by Frank Sibold) of pieces such as Gershwin’s An American in Paris. Composer Jean-Philippe Calvin wrote the wind quintet "Kleztet" for Artecombo.

Until now, ArteCombo has played mostly in France and in Japan.
