Talents & Violon'celles

Instruments of excellence for up-and-coming musicians

Talents & Violon'celles brings up-and-coming young musicians together with violins, violas and cellos from France's finest violin makers. The endowment fund lends them the top-quality instruments entrusted to it, which it acquires or has made, thanks to private or institutional sponsors. In this way, a major obstacle to the development of young musicians is removed.

Talents & Violon'celles was set up in 2010 on the idea of Raphaël Pidoux, cellist with the Trio Wanderer, who had realised that the high price of quality stringed instruments was penalising young talent.

The energy and complementary skills of four experienced co-founders helped the idea to flourish. Talents & Violon'celles is now a benchmark in the world of music.
