One Brahms quartet is p layed on each day and to the programme is added other masterpieces like Be ethoven’s first trio and Lekeu’s violin sonata which was one of Menuhi n’s favourite pieces.\n\nCellist Gauthier Herrmann has assembled a team of players which include violinist Mathilde Borsarello Herrmann\, a prize winner of the Thibaud-Long competition\, Cécile Grassi\, who is violist o f the Psophos quartet and pianist Jean-Michel Dayez who graduated from the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel and from the Paris Conservatory.\n\nTravelle r\, entrepreneur\, explorer\, Gauthier Herrmann is not your typical musici an. A passionate cello player with a focus on chamber music\, founder and director of “Artie's”\, Gauthier has travelled the world for ten years in the company of his family and Artie's joyful musicians\; artists unite d by their repertoire and their loyalty to each other.\nHis focus and dete rmination have led him to be held in high regard on the classical musical circuit. He has received high awards (with the Trio con Fuoco) and acclaim at the Florence\, Heerlen\, Illzach\, Vibrarte and Fnapec music competiti ons and he is highly respected by leading musicians. In 2001\, Gauthier He rrmann discovered India. This trip gave birth to the Artie's adventure\, a slightly crazy project summed up by two words at the heart of modern day classical music : family and enterprise. Artie’s festival’s developmen t is thanks to an entrepreneur who\, wanting to set-up a series of music c oncerts\, sold his first cello\, to make possible the dream of bringing to gether two worlds previously seen as incompatible: classical music and Ind ia. Nine years\, 18 editions\, 14 cities\, 51 musicians\, 65 trips and mor e than 37\,000 spectators later\, chamber music has found a home in India. Aside from India\, Artie’s has played in China\, Saudi Arabia\, Kuwait\ , Vietnam\, Indonesia\, Nepal and in Europe of course…\n\nMathilde Borsa rello Herrmann started studying the violin from the age of five with her f ather.

Mathilde is a prize winner of the prestigious Thibaud-Long competition . She is a member of Orchestre National de France and Trio Estampe\, and p lays a violin by Riccardo Genovese of 1931.\n\nJean-Michel Dayez graduated from the Valenciennes and Lille Conservatoires\, then joined Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden's class at the Brussels Royal Conservatory (1997). A year la ter\, he graduated with flying colours and was awarded the Special Jury Pr ize. In 1998\, he was admitted to the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel where h e studied for three years and graduated with the highest honours. Jean-Mic hel is Artistic director of Ecouter-Voir season of Tourcoing and a member of Trio Leos.
