Exceptional musicianship. A shared musical vision. The power of strings.

On October 18, Gautier Capuçon joined violinist Lisa Batiashvili and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet for an extraordinary chamber music performance, bringing together the works of Shostakovich, Debussy, and Dvořák in a program rich in emotion, contrast, and expressive depth.

At the heart of this musical conversation, every nuance matters. Every phrase tells a story.

Gautier Capuçon performs with Larsen Strings Sovereign for Cello, strings crafted to support the depth, warmth, and expressive possibilities of his exceptional artistry.

Proud to be part of the sound behind extraordinary musicians.

For performances of this energy, color, and expressive depth, every detail matters.
