About
Three instrumentalists with major awards under their belts already are back together again tonight to celebrate some of the finest works for a soloist (Bach), for duets (Beethoven and Brahms) and lastly as a trio (Zemlinsky). Belgian pianist, Julien Libeer, (born in 1987 and the eldest musician by three years) studied under Maria João Pires, whose guidance had a strong influence on his development as a performer. This accomplished chamber musician frequently plays all over Europe, and performed the complete violin and piano sonatas with Lorenzo Gatto at the Auditorium du Louvre. Aurélien Pascal, who is in his thirties, was the “Revelation” instrumental soloist at the Victoires de la Musique in 2023. Equally at ease in concerto and chamber repertoire, he plays an Adolphe Gand 1850 cello which he inherited from his mother. The third member is Tuscan clarinettist Kevin Spagnolo, the youngest winner at the age of 22 of the First Prize at the Concours de Genève music competition in 2018. He is passionate about transmission and teaching and excels on the concert stage.
