Promotion VI - concert of December

Every year since 2014, the Classe d'Excellence de Violoncelle de Gautier Capuçon takes place in the Auditorium of the Fondation. Created and directed by Gautier Capuçon, this project is designed to promote six young and talented cellists from around the world.

Selected by audition, the laureates of the Promotion VI meet from November 2019 to June 2020 for public work sessions and concerts. At the end of each sessions, a concert is organised with the laureates and Gautier Capuçon. The public can book a ticket to see them perform and witness their progression throughout the year.

As part of the Fondation’s mission to promote artistic creation in all its different forms and media, the Classe d’Excellence de Violoncelle aims to expose its participants to a wide array of genres; to encourage dialogue and encounters with guest speakers from different cultures and nationalities; and to bring awareness to a wide range of different styles and projects. During their time at the Fondation, spent alongside great artists and talented professionals, participants will have the singular opportunity to develop their individual projects, to explore and appreciate the subtleties of a career as a performing artist, and to be exposed to new musical and otherwise artistic perspectives.

Season 2019/2020 will end with a closing concert, on Saturday 20 June 2020 at 8.30 p.m.
