 ional de Dijon (France) and subsequently studied under Christophe Poiget. 
 He obtained his Master’s degree in 2018 at Conservatoire National Supér
 ieur de Musique et de Danse where he studied under Roland Daugareil. After
  studying at the Academy of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France a
 nd the Academy of the Orchestre de Paris\, he became a member of the Orch
 estre National de France and this was followed promptly by a position as 
 assistant concertmaster with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France
 . He was appointed concertmaster in January 2023. Nathan won various Inter
 national prizes. In 2018 he won the Second Senior Prize at the prestigiou
 s Menuhin Competition along with the Arte Concert Online Prize\, the Comp
 oser Award (prize for contemporary music composed just for the competition
 ) and the Jonathan Moulds Award for Outstanding Potential.\nEmma Gibout be
 gan playing the violin at the Pau Conservatory with Claire Zarembowitch wh
 ere she obtained a first prize for violin with honours in 2015. She then s
 tudied at the CRR in Boulogne-Billancourt with Christophe Poiget before re
 turning to the CNSM in Lyon in the class of Marianne Piketty\, Manuel Sola
 ns\, Dominique Lonca and Jennifer Gilbert. She obtained a DNSPM license th
 ere in 2019 and is currently pursuing her master’s studies at the Hochsc
 hule ‘Hanns Eisler’ in Berlin with Ulf Wallin. Emma Gibout is the winn
 er of several International competitions: she won 3rd prize in the ‘Mari
 e Cantagrill’ competition in 2012 then 1st prize in the ‘Arthur Grumia
 ux’ International competition in Brussels in 2018. Passionate about the 
 orchestra\, she joined the Orchestre Français des Jeunes in 2014 and 2016
 \, then the Verbier Festival Orchestra in 2017\, of which she became conce
 rtmaster from 2018 which allows her to play under the baton of the greates
 t conductors such as Simon Rattle\, Valery Gergiev\, Manfred Honeck\, Esa-
 Pekka Salonen\, Daniel Harding\, Antonio Pappano.\nViolaine Despeyroux: 
 ‘I consider music as a journey\, a moment suspended in time\, which is d
 ifferent with each interpretation. The listeners will be guided simply int
 o a story that we create together.’ This conception of musical interpret
 ation as a unique and immersive moment of sharing is the basis of Violaine
  Despeyroux’s artistic practice. This young viola player\, much sought a
 fter as a chamber musician and soloist\, stands out on stage\, with her pe
 rsonality and energy\, both precise and electrifying. Violaine Despeyroux 
 has been awarded the 1st prize at the National Competition for Young Violi
 sts and the 2nd prize and prize for the best Bach performance at the Inter
 national Competition of viola Cecil Aronowitz in Birmingham amongst others
 . A passion and tenacity that can be found in the prestigious European and
  International music halls: the Victoria Hall in Geneva\, the Seiji Ozawa 
 Hall in Tanglewood (USA)\, the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris or t
 he Palais des Beaux-arts in Brussels\, alongside renowned partners like Re
 naud Capuçon\, Gary Hoffman\, Claire Désert\, Suyoen Kim\, Alexandra Sou
 mm\, Smoking Josephine Ensemble. As a soloist\, Violaine Despeyroux perfor
 med in France\, Italy and Belgium with conductors such as Vahan Mardirossi
 an and Ian Fountain.\nTraveller\, entrepreneur\, ultra-trailer\, Gauthier 
 Herrmann isn’t your typical musician. A cellist with a passion for small
  ensembles and chamber music\, Gauthier is laureate of International compe
 titions in Florence (Italy)\, Heerlen (Netherlands)\, Illzach\, Vibrarte\,
  Fnapec (France). He is also a finisher of crazy races\, such as La Diagon
 ale des fous in La Reunion\, the 100km of Millau\, the Oisons Trail Tour
 … In 2001\, Gauthier discovered India. It was from this moment on that A
 rtie’s adventures were born\, a slightly crazy project that could be sum
 marized as follows: music\, kindness\, curiosity and enterprise. Around G
 authier\, a plethora of musician friends crystallized\, who would travel t
 he world\, under his leadership and his artistic direction. Gauthier has h
 ad the pleasure of performing in more than 50 countries and in particular 
 of developing recurring projects in India\, China\, Saudi Arabia\, Kuwait\
 , Vietnam\, Indonesia\, Kazakhstan\, Nepal and of course Europe. In 2012\,
  Gauthier founded a production company\, LdB-prod (or Louis de Beethoven)
 \, a French tribute to his musical idol. LdB-prod imagines and offers seas
 ons of chamber music with an assumed ambition: to reestablish intimacy bet
 ween the room and the stage\, to bring the artists closer to their audienc
 e. Gauthier plays a magnificent cello by the Italian violin maker Giuseppe
  Rocca (Turin\, 1853)\, placed in his hands by the Eisenberg Fund.\nIn 20
 19\, Joë Christophe confirms his artistic singularity by winning the 1st 
 Prize at the Cluj International Competition in Romania\, and the following
  month\, the 1st Prize as well as 6 special prizes at the highly prestigio
 us ARD competition in Munich\, launching his career as a soloist to an Int
 ernational stage. As a soloist with major orchestras (DSO Berlin\, SWR St
 uttgart\, München Rundfunkorchester and Kammerorchester\, Philharmonie De
 ssau...) or as a chamber musician at numerous festivals\, his career has 
 taken him to the most prestigious concert halls throughout the world.\n
