In keeping with the spirit of the Classe d’Excellence de Violoncelle de Gautier Capuçon, which he oversaw at the Fondation from 2014 to 2022, France’s most celebrated cellist invited six talented students to share the stage with the young virtuosos.

Now, with this concert, they presented a brand-new programme of compositions, featuring pianists Jérôme Ducros and Frank Braley, their longtime chamber music partners. Several pieces were presented in a deliberate blend of very different aesthetics, from film music with Joe Hisaishi, a celebrated collaborator of movie director Hayao Miyazaki, to the minimalism of Max Richter and the neo-romanticism work of Ludovico Einaudi.
