XV:2 5 – Gypsy\, Ravel: Piano Trio in A minor and Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No. 2 In C minor\, Op. 66\n\nIn association with Alliance Française de Pune\ n\n[caption id="attachment_11516" align="alignleft" width="300"] Photo: Be rnard Martinez[/caption]\n\nAwarded 11 international prizes\, the Trio Zad ig captivates audiences with its virtuosity\, elegance and irresistible e nthusiasm.\n\nFriendship is at the core of the \; Trio Zadig’s stren gth and authenticity. Boris Borgolotto and Marc Girard Garcia are childhoo d friends who studied together at the Paris Conservatoire National de Musi que and at the University of Music in Vienna. Upon their return to France\ , they crossed paths with Ian Barber\, an American pianist from the renown ed studio of Andre Watts at the University of Indiana. The chemistry betwe en them is immediately apparent\, and they decide to combine their talents and found the Trio Zadig.\n\nThe name comes from Voltaire’s eponymous c haracter\, Zadig (from the Hebrew for the ‘just’ and the Arabic for th e ‘truthful’). Much like the music that the Trio performs\, the story of Zadig is fantastically entertaining\, while touching upon universal and uncompromising truths about the nature of reality.\n\nIn just a few years \, the Trio has become very successful and won numerous awards\, including the First Prize of the “Fnapec Musiques d’Ensemble” – in the foot steps of renowned ensembles like the Ysaÿe Quartet\, the Ebene Quartet an d the Wanderer Trio – as well as the Second Prize of the Fischoff Compet ition (USA). The Zadig Trio is now an “associated artist” in residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel. It is also a resident of ProQuartet in Paris\, of “Le Dimore del Quaretto” in Italy and of the Singer-Poli gnac Foundation in Paris.\n\nThe Trio Zadig has performed all over the wor ld\, from the USA to Taiwan\, as well as in prestigious halls like the BOZ AR\, Shanghai City Theater\, Paris’ Philharmonic and the Salle Cortot. I n parallel with this demanding schedule\, the Trio has met with great arti sts who have contributed to the development of its musical expression\, mo st notably Ivry Gitlis and Menahem Pressler.\n\nDue to its auspicious begi nning\, the Zadig Trio has been invited to several broadcast shows on Fren ch (France Musique\, France Inter)\, Belgian (Musiq’3 (RTBF) and Swiss ( RTS2) public radios\, as well as on Mezzo TV and Culturebox.\n\nIn March 2 019\, the Trio released its first album “Something in Between” (ffff T élérama) as homage to its French and American roots\, in collaboration w ith the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel\, Benjamin Attahir and Bruno Fontaine . The ensemble also regularly engages in social projects\, notably by play ing in schools and for prison inmates. Finally\, as Beethoven’s 250th an niversary draws nearer\, the Trio is preparing an important project around the composer’s Triple Concerto\, with original cadenzas by Benjamin Att ahir.\n\nFrom Haydn to contemporary composers\, the Trio Zadig’s audacit y and freshness gives youth and vitality to the piano trio repertoire. The depth and sincerity of their interpretations\, as well as their vivid\, p oetic sound\, make them the creators of captivating performances. Just lik e Voltaire’s hero\, the Trio promises to have a long and adventurous lif e.\n\nBoris Borgolotto plays a 1750 violin by the famous Italian maker Car lo Antonio Testore. Marc Garcia plays a Frank Ravatin cello\, generously l oaned to him by the El Pasito association.\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://poonamusic.com/pms_wp/wp-content/uploads /2019/09/Trio-Zadig-crop.jpg CATEGORIES:Trios 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
