Pianist

Playful Poulenc with Lambert Wilson, incisive brass, Martinů, Blacher and Busoni in motion, Shostakovich ablaze, then Schubert lights up the night with Death and the Maiden.

The Great Evening

Festival Salon

At the Château de l'Empéri, the evening glides from Bolling and his hushed jazz to Golijov, Shostakovich and Bartók, and then culminates in Chausson's Concert, a melancholy gem.

7. Full Sentimental

Château de l'Empéri

From the raw percussion of Rebonds to the dances of West Side Story, via Bartók's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion and Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances.

West Side Story

Salon de Provence

A crossing where Bach meets jazz and electronica: finely chiseled counterpoint, incisive rhythms, hypnotic pulses. A vibrant reinterpretation, between improvisation, electric energy and baroque architecture.

The Art of the Fugue: Marimba Overture


Since its founding in 2010, Trio Gaspard has established itself as one of the finest and most sought-after piano trios of its generation. The ensemble, led by the wonderful pianist and chamber musician Nicholas Rimmer, is dedicated to the classical trio repertoire, but also explores more obscure works and contemporary works. The first installments of its complete recording of the Haydn Trios have been critically acclaimed and, according to "Strad" magazine, "have left us wanting more." Following performances at London's Wigmore Hall, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the Shanghai Symphony Hall, among others, Trio Gaspard now makes its Blaibach debut.
