"Talk about a meteoric rise. In 2010 cellist Nicolas Altstaedt played the Schumann Cello Concerto with Gustavo Dudamel. In 2012 Altstaedt's suave capture of Bach's Three Gamba Sonatas' elusive beauty could spark a reevaluation of where they tie relative to the Six Solo Cello Suites."
-Lawrence Vittes, (String Magazine)
German/French cellist Nicolas Altstaedt is a versatile artist being equally at home at performing on period instruments, the classical repertoire and commissioning new music. Nicolas was one of Boris Pergamenschikow's last students in Berlin, where he continued his studies with Eberhard Feltz.

A "wanderer between worlds" (Lucerne Festival), Swiss-born American pianist Gilles Vonsattel is an artist of extraordinary versatility and originality. Comfortable with and seeking out an enormous range of repertoire, Vonsattel displays a musical curiosity and sense of adventure that has gained him many admirers.
