With masterpieces from the west, the quartet of young musicians is set to bring the best of chamber music

His rendezvous with the city music aficionados is a regular event by now yet each time Gautheir Herrmann comes for the Arties Chamber Music Festival it's an endeavor to bring the best of the lesser known musical gamut. And tonight when he will perform with his equals, the quartet will have a symphony of piano, violin, viola and cello. The notes of western classical music will once again revive the allure he had left on the listeners a few months back as the festival gets the young group of musicians Mathilde Borsarello on violin, Mathieu Herzog on viola, Herrmann on cello and Samuel Parent on piano to for a concert on their tuneful masterpieces they are so much admired for.

The four artistes from France will get together to perform a show that will have Brahms: Piano quartet Op. 60; Beethoven: Archduke trio; Schubert: Trio No. 1 Op. 99 at the festival which is in its fourth edition. Playing together since the last ten years, Mathilde Borsarello will join them on violin for this concert. Herrmann founded the trio con Fuoco in 1998 that has won numerous international prizes. "This is my fourth trip to the city and having played at the festival earlier too I have understood that its worth portraying our art here since people have a significant understanding of the western classical music. It is very difficult to find a fine instrument these days and I play a Benoit Fleury instrument of 1754, belonging to a private sponsor," adds Herrmann who has studied chamber music under proficients like Paul Meyer, Eric Le Sage and Gabor Takacs
