Quatuor Annesci

About Quatuor Annesci

The Quatuor Annesci has been in existence for 27 years. Concert musicians, Hélène Dupont (violin), François Jacquet (violin), Leonardo Tokumitsu (viola), Guillaume Quartenoud (cello), enjoy stimulating and innovative challenges that allow classical music to express itself beyond just concert halls. Thus, they offer companies, through a powerful musical metaphor, a surprising vision of engaged and authentic management. Trained by great masters including the Amadeus Quartet, Eberhard Feltz, Alain Meunier, the Quatuor Annesci is a laureate of the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation and received the Virtuosity Prize at the Geneva Conservatory of Music. They regularly perform in France, in major European cities, and internationally: China, Japan, Russia, the United States… Passionate about new experiences, they develop cross-synergies with actors, choreographers, painters, and writers. They exercise their recognized pedagogical qualities in diverse settings such as educational, university, hospital, or professional environments through interventions in companies, a concept with profound resonances of which they are the initiator and which has now become an integral part of their musical activity. The Quatuor Annesci plays on a quartet of instruments made in 2001 by a renowned master luthier: Patrick Robin. Each instrument was crafted from the same 600-year-old Bosnian maple. Unity in diversity.
