The astonishing stage truck founded by the virtuoso pianist Guilhem FABRE, inaugurates the event in the company of actor François MICHONNEAU in a dialogue between Rachmaninov, Baudelaire, Bach and Rostand…
A virtuoso lyricist, trained at the Paris Conservatory and then at the Gnessin Institute in Moscow, Guilhem Fabre is the designer of the uNopia stage truck which is now invited to festivals throughout France.
uNopia offers you a meeting between notes and words, a piano recital where classical music and French poetry meet, mingle and answer each other. A dialogue between Rachmaninov, Baudelaire, Bach and Rostand… A moment of sharing after isolation like a ray of sunshine after rain, in all simplicity.

in a new light
Young and brilliant accordion and strings trio,
classic and modern with electric power!
Combining a vast repertoire often associated with original transcriptions (from Beethoven to Stravinsky, via Vivaldi, Prokofiev or Piazzolla), the ensemble has the desire to visit as many horizons as possible. Defender of the music of its time, the trio collaborates with leading composers such as Régis Campo, Laurent Duvillier-Wable and Véronique Poltz. In October 2019, the trio was awarded the honorary prize and the public prize at the Léopold Bellan International Competition. Multiplying experiences (Festival d’Auvers-sur-Oise, Chamber Music in Giverny, Forum Musical de Normandie, Festival Opus Amadeus in Istanbul), the group is constantly developing its activity and arousing interest. The label DiscAuverS records its first disc in October 2020.

Cello : Dimitri MASLENNIKOV
Piano : Natalia MEDVEDEVA
A trio of soloists from the great Russian school who interpret with flames spectacular arrangements of 15 famous musics from American and Russian films – a tribute to Enio Morricone!
Fascinated by the world of cinema, the musicians of TRIPTIKH, by the way they look at these « great classics » of film music and the strength of their talent, strive to give it an existence of its own, a dimension in its own right. Its evocative power, its pictorial dimension, the richness of the emotional and expressive registers make it a rich field of exploration, perfectly adapted to a classical trio formation. The musicians give her a treatment that is at once warm, powerful and mastered, which transports us into this universe that we love so much …
