This evening at 8 PM (free entry subject to available space with mandatory mask and other barrier gestures), at the reflecting pool of the Promenade des Paillons, the famous cellist Gautier Capuçon will give a concert, accompanied on piano by Jérôme Ducros.
Gautier Capuçon is a true ambassador of the cello today. He performs each season with the most renowned conductors and instrumentalists in the world.
Gautier Capuçon is universally recognized for his highly expressive musicality, virtuosity, and the deep sound of his 1701 Matteo Goffriller cello, “L’Ambassadeur.”
Born in 1981 in Chambéry, Gautier Capuçon began playing the cello at the age of five with Augustin Lefèbvre and studied in Paris with Annie Cochet-Zakine, Philippe Muller, and then in Vienna with Heinrich Schiff. He has won several first prizes in international competitions, including the First Grand Prize at the André Navarra International Competition in Toulouse.
Since 2014, he has also been the founder and artistic director of the Classe d’Excellence de Violoncelle of the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.
Since autumn 2019, he has been presenting “Les Carnets de Gautier Capuçon” on Radio Classique, on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM to 11 AM.
