S. Bach: ‘Jesu joy of Man's desir ing’ (arr. cello and piano)\; Antonín Dvorák: Quintet for Piano and St rings Op. 81 and Dmitri Shostakovich: Piano quintet G minor Op. 57\n\nGaut hier Herrmann\, cello\nMathilde Borsarello Herrmann\, violin\nHugo Meder\, violin\nViolaine Despeyroux\, viola\nJean-Michel Dayez\, piano\n\nTravele r\, 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 competitions in Florence (Italy)\, Heerlen (Netherlands)\, Illzach\, Vibrarte\, Fnapec (France). He is also a finisher of crazy races\, such as La Diagonale des fous in La Reunion\, t he 100km of Millau\, the Oisons Trail Tour…\n\nIn 2001\, Gauthier discov ered India. It was from this moment on that Artie’s adventures were born \, a slightly crazy project that could be summarized as follows: music\, k indness\, curiosity and enterprise. Around Gauthier\, a plethora of musici an friends crystallized\, who would travel the world\, under his leadershi p and his artistic direction. Gauthier has had the pleasure of performing in more than 50 countries and in particular of developing recurring projec ts in India\, China\, Saudi Arabia\, Kuwait\, Vietnam\, Indonesia\, Kazakh stan\, Nepal and of course Europe…\n\nIn 2012\, Gauthier founded a produ ction company\, LdB-prod (or Louis de Beethoven)\, 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 sta ge\, to bring the artists closer to their audience. Gauthier plays a magni ficent cello by the Italian violin maker Giuseppe Rocca (Turin\, 1853)\, p laced in his hands by the Eisenberg Fund.\n\n \;\n\nA Prize winner of the prestigious Marguerite Long - Jacques Thibaud competition in 2010\, Ma thilde Borsarello Herrmann puts her talent at the service of music in all its forms. Her true mother tongue… Music! A total immersion from childho od\, a vocation of course\, but above all a passion… Violin\, piano\, vo ice\, sonata\, trio\, quartet\, teaching\, orchestra\, it is with appetite that she devours a wide repertoire ranging from J S Bach to Arvo Pärt.\n \nFrom her beginnings at the CNR in Paris to her two graduate degrees at t he CNSMDP\, she has a deep appreciation for those who have shaped her musi cal identity\, Suzanne Gessner\, Patrice Fontanarosa\, Jean-Jacques Kantor ow and Roland Daugareil in violin as well as Paul Boufil\, Pierre-Laurent Aimard\, Alain Meunier\, Maurice Bourgue and Marc Coppey in chamber music. Her passion for chamber music led her to perform with partners such as Ga utier Capuçon\, Gérard Caussé\, the Ebène quartet\, Roland Daugareil\, Henri Demarquette\, Romain Descharmes\, Olivier Patey and Shani Diluka… \n\nWith the perfectionism that characterizes her\, Mathilde wanted to exp lore in depth the repertoire of the piano trio by creating in 2002 the Tri o Estampe with pianist Claudine Simon and cellist Caroline Boita. Supporte d by the Meyer Foundation\, they record a CD “Young Soloist” in 2010\, then in 2012 an album around the trio opus 5 of Max Bruch for the label A rtie’s Records\, distribution Harmonia Mundi. For this insatiable music\ , to deprive oneself of the symphonic repertoire was unthinkable. Mathilde was a member of the Orchestre National de France from 2007 to 2017 under the direction of Maestro Daniele Gatti. During these 8 years in this forma tion\, she had the opportunity to play in the most prestigious halls (Amst erdam\, London\, New York\, Vienna…) and to be directed by\, among other s\, Maestros Masur\, Muti\, Ozawa\, Järvi\, Sokhiev\, Bychkov\, Haitink i n repertoire as varied as they are complete. Her violin\, by the Italian l uthier Riccardo Genovese (1931)\, follows in all her adventures. Currently \, she is the first violinist of the Psophos Quartet.\n\n \;\n\nHailed by critics for being “a passionate and committed violinist” (Bachtrac k)\, Hugo Meder embodies the new generation of French violinists. Born int o a family of Alsatian winegrowers and cabinetmakers\, Hugo discovered the violin at a music school near his village. Immediately spotted by his tea chers\, he quickly joined the Strasbourg Conservatory in the class of Ana Reverdito-Haas\, who revealed his great musicality and made him join the C NSMDP (Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris) in Alexis Galperineʼs class. He then also received the wise advice of gre at soloists such as Marina Chiche\, Amaury Coetaux\, Pierre Colombet and O livier Charlier. After obtaining his master's degree\, he was admitted to the Performing Artist Diploma (post-master's 3rd cycle) and led a project around Bartókʼs music for the violin. During 2020\, he was also admitted to the Young Talents programme of the Jaroussky Academy\, giving him the opportunity to work with artists such as Geneviève Laurenceau\, Christian Pierre La Marca\, Philippe Jaroussky and David Kadouch.\n\nIn the meanwhi le\, he began a career as a soloist and performed regularly in venues such as the Auditorium de la Seine Musicale in Paris or the Kammermusiksaal in Stuttgart. He then collaborated with the conductors Mathieu Herzog\, Chlo é Dufresne and Jeanne Cousin as well as with several ensembles including the Orchester Appassionato\, the Orchester interUniversitaire de Paris and the Ensemble Orchestral Clair de Lune. Winner of numerous international c ompetitions (among others\, the First Prize of the FNAPEC\, the Honorary P rize of the Bellan Competition\, the first prize of the Nouvelles Étoile Competition in Paris)\, we can hear about him in La Lettre du Musicien or on France Musique.\n\nHugo is supported by the Safran Foundation and is a laureate of the Royaumont Foundation. He plays a Gand et Bernardel violin from 1889 and a Pierre Nehr bow from 2019.\n\n \;\n\n‘I consider mus ic as a journey\, a moment suspended in time\, which is different with eac h interpretation. The listeners will be guided simply into a story that we create together.’\n\nThis conception of musical interpretation as a uni que and immersive moment of sharing is the basis of Violaine Despeyroux’ s artistic practice. This young viola player\, much sought after as a cha mber musician and soloist\, stands out on stage\, with her personality and energy\, both precise and electrifying.\n\nViolaine Despeyroux has been a warded the 1st prize at the National Competition for Young Violists and th e 2nd prize and prize for the best Bach performance at the International C ompetition of viola Cecil Aronowitz in Birmingham amongst others.\n\nA pas sion and tenacity that can be found in the prestigious European and intern ational 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\, Smoking Josephine Ensemble.\n\nAs a soloist\, Violaine Despeyroux perform ed in France\, Italie and Belgium with conductors such as Vahan Mardirossi an and Ian Fountain. Her season 22/23 will be marked by her debut in Flage y (Brussel)\, performing Mozart Symphonie Concertante with Renaud Capuçon . Particularly attached to chamber music and endlessly eager to expand her repertoire\, she played in major festivals such as Festival de Pâques\, Festival Radio France in Montpellier\, Folles journées de Nantes\, among many others.\n\nViolaine Despeyroux is also regularly invited by major ens embles such as the Paris National Opera\, the Orchestre de Paris\, WDR Sym phonie orchestra or the Kölner Kammerorchester\, among the orchestra. But she also likes to be where we don’t expect her\, breaking the mold and off the beaten path. It’s because Violaine Despeyroux considers so-calle d classical music above all as a living and vibrant art. There so many sub tle shades and powerful encounters where her personality and her instrumen t (a Jacquot 1863 viola) find each other in perfect harmony.\n\n \;\n\ nBorn near Valenciennes in the north of France\, Jean-Michel Dayez graduat ed from the Valenciennes and Lille Conservatoires\, then joined Jean-Claud e Vanden Eynden’s class at the Brussels Royal Conservatory (1997). A yea r later he graduated with flying colours and was awarded the Special Jury Prize. In 1998\, he was admitted to the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elizabeth where he studied for three years and graduated with the highest honours.\n \nHe then studied composition and accompaniment at the Paris CNSMD\, gradu ating in 2004. A laureate of several competitions (Tenuto Competition\, Br ussels\; Emmanuel Darlet International Competition\, Antwerp\, where he wa s awarded the Press Prize)\, he received grants from the Émile Bernheim F oundation (Brussels) and the Meyer Foundation (Paris) in 2004.\n\nA fine c hamber musician\, J.-M. Dayez also plays the great concerto repertoire (Ra chmaninoff\, Beethoven\, Liszt\, Mozart…) and his recital programmes ran ge from Bach to Berio. He has recorded the complete works of Fauré for ce llo and piano\, and Beethoven’s five sonatas for cello and piano\, respe ctively with cellists Xavier Gagnepain and Nicolas Deletaille. He has also recorded Franck’s quintet with piano. Jean-Michel Dayez currently teach es at the Lille Conservatoire.\n\n\n\n \;\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://poonamusic.com/pms_wp/wp-content/uploads /2024/03/Gauthier_2023_crop.jpg CATEGORIES:Chamber Music LOCATION:Mazda Hall\, Sardar Dastur Hoshang Boys High School\, Pune\, India GEO:18.5198845;73.87824479999995 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Sardar Dastur Hoshang Boys High School\, Pune\, India;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Mazda Hall:geo:18.51 98845,73.87824479999995 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
