Recently\, she has been appointed concertmaster of O rchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse.\nViolaine Despeyroux: ‘I cons ider music as a journey\, a moment suspended in time\, which is different with each interpretation. The listeners will be guided simply into a story that we create together.’ This conception of musical interpretation as a unique and immersive moment of sharing is the basis of Violaine Despeyro ux’s artistic practice. This young viola player\, much sought after as a chamber musician and soloist\, stands out on stage\, with her personality and energy\, both precise and electrifying.\nViolaine Despeyroux has been awarded the 1st prize at the National Competition for Young Violists and the 2nd prize and prize for the best Bach performance at the International Competition of viola Cecil Aronowitz in Birmingham amongst others. With p assion and tenacity\, she can be found in the prestigious European and Int ernational music halls: the Victoria Hall in Geneva\, the Seiji Ozawa Hall in Tanglewood (USA)\, the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris or the P alais des Beaux-arts in Brussels\, alongside renowned partners like Renaud Capuçon\, Gary Hoffman\, Claire Désert\, Suyoen Kim\, Alexandra Soumm a nd the Smoking Josephine Ensemble. As a soloist\, Violaine Despeyroux has performed in France\, Italy and Belgium with conductors such as Vahan Mard irossian and Ian Fountain.\nTraveller\, entrepreneur\, ultra-trailer\, Gau thier Herrmann isn’t your typical musician. A cellist with a passion for small ensembles and chamber music\, Gauthier is laureate of International competitions in Florence (Italy)\, Heerlen (Netherlands)\, Illzach\, Vibr arte\, Fnapec (France). He is also a finisher of crazy races\, such as La Diagonale des fous in La Reunion\, the 100km of Millau\, the Oisons Trail Tour… In 2001\, Gauthier discovered India. It was from this moment on th at Artie’s adventures were born\, a slightly crazy project that could be summarized as follows: music\, kindness\, curiosity and enterprise. Arou nd Gauthier\, a plethora of musician friends crystallized\, who would trav el the world\, under his leadership and his artistic direction. Gauthier h as had the pleasure of performing in more than 50 countries and in particu lar of developing recurring projects in India\, China\, Saudi Arabia\, Kuw ait\, Vietnam\, Indonesia\, Kazakhstan\, Nepal and of course Europe. In 20 12\, Gauthier founded a production company\, LdB-prod (or Louis de Beetho ven)\, a French tribute to his musical idol. LdB-prod imagines and offers seasons of chamber music with an assumed ambition: to reestablish intimacy between the room and the stage\, to bring the artists closer to their aud ience. Gauthier plays a magnificent cello by the Italian maker Giuseppe Ro cca (Turin\, 1853)\, placed in his hands by the Eisenberg Fund.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://poonamusic.com/pms_wp/wp-content/uploads /2024/09/Gauthier_2023_crop.jpg CATEGORIES:Chamber Music LOCATION:Mazda Hall\, Dastur Primary School\, 2 Lt.
