Open Mic via Zoom: David Temple

“La Vie Ensemble,” a duo of David Temple and Hélène Nicole Richard, embraces life’s contradictions with humor and song. Hélène Nicole brings her folk-style songwriting with a comedic twist, and David’s classical background adds a special depth, creating a dynamic partnership that is both entertaining and meditative. Their mission is to bring joy, laughter, and a fresh perspective to the shared human experience through music — that blends classical and folk guitar with a French lyrical style.

Hélène’s performing career has spanned east coast to west coast in both Canada and U.S., for audiences in schools as well as performing arts centers, and presenting original work in French and in English. In addition to song-writing, she has published four books, the most recent title being 7 Days to a More Generous, Creative, and Sensual Life, available at Barnes & Noble.

David has performed nationwide as a classical guitar soloist and chamber musician, and has now turned his focus with this partnership to songwriting and composing, utilizing his classical, jazz, and folk backgrounds. He is available for online lessons as a teacher of guitar, music theory, and composition.
