Hugues Borsarello is a violinist par excellence known for his combination of virtuosity and elegance. He performs as soloist and chamber musician all over France and Europe, and his recording of the complete Mozart violin concertos has been recently released on Arties Records.
Laurent Manaud-Pallas is the first soloist at the Orchestre National de France. He is also the principal violinist at the Orchestre de Pau Pays de Béarn. Laurent Manaud-Pallas plays a 1842 violin from Vissenaire.
Due to “his creativity, enthusiasm and dedication” Arnaud Thorette belongs among the most promising viola players of his generation. He has won prizes at the International Viola Competition in Genova, Paris, Nuremberg and Haverhill, and was awarded numerous distinctions, among them the Prix Académie Ravel. His repertoire ranging from Baroque to Contemporary Music to Tango provides a wealth of variety for his own musical expression.
As a conductor, violist, composer, arranger, founding member of the Quatuor Ebène, and countless other distinctions, Mathieu Herzog is a consummate artist. Winner of the « Concours International de Bordeaux », and of the ARD competition in Munich, he has performed in some of the most prestigious venues in the world. He has given numerous masterclasses and in 2009 was named Professor in Residence at the prestigious Colburn School in Los Angeles.
Gauthier Herrmann won first prize in cello from the Paris Conservatoire and since then has embarked on a journey to establish Arties festival in different parts of the world. A cellist passionately turned towards chamber music, he has travelled the globe for over ten years in the company of his family – the merry band of Arties musicians brought together by great musical repertoire.
Emmanuel Christien is one of France’s most diverse young pianists who is in great demand. Emmanuel graduated in piano, chamber music and vocal accompaniment. He won several awards in International competitions for piano, like Casagrande (Italy) and Perlemuter (France).
