Ophélie Gaillard, an exceptional artist

A spirit of insatiable curiosity, a taste for risk-taking, an immoderate appetite for the entire cello concerto repertoire, with no borders and no quarrels, a civic commitment and an unconditional love of nature: these are undoubtedly the qualities that set this brilliant Franco-Saxon performer apart from the very start.

Voted “Instrumental Soloist of the Year” at the 2003 Victoires de la Musique Classique awards, she has since performed in recital in Asia and Europe, and has been a guest with such prestigious orchestras as the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, the Orchestre National de Metz, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and the New Japan Philharmonic.

Xavier Pignat, an artist of the first rank

A member of the Trio Nota Bene, he won the 1st International Prize in Rotterdam and has since performed on the international scene.

He plays alongside such renowned artists as Renaud Capuçon, Shlomo Mintz, Nobuko Imai and Shmuel Ashkenasi. He is solo cellist with the Zurich Opera Orchestra.
