Les Fieffés Musiciens Chamber music festival in the Cotentin region The chamber music festival in Cotentin “Les Fieffés Musiciens” was created in 2015 by Stanislas Gosset, artistic director of the latter and violinist of the Trio Ernest. The festival soon made a name for itself in the rich French musical landscape thanks to its “ingenious audacity” and its diverse program. The Trio Ernest has naturally become one of the event’s closest partners. Each year, it is offered the privilege to present one or more programs of their own choice. More information.

 

Like many other ensembles, the pandemic crisis had a deep impact on the Trio. Therefore, they decided to organize six concerts broadcasted live in video streaming, for which they ensure the artistic direction and the production. In order to recreate as faithfully as possible the conditions of a traditional concert, said concerts were ticketed and recorded live. For this occasion, the Trio invited numerous renowned musicians: singer Stephan Macleod, cellist Ophélie Gaillard, violists Noémie Bialobroda and Caroline Cohen-Adad, violinist Patrick Genet, and the Orchestre Juventutti. This initiative was supported by a private foundation in Geneva.
