Gautier Capuçon | Capucelli

A master cellist and his six fellow musicians on perhaps the most beautiful string instrument: Gautier Capuçon and Capucelli. The world-renowned guest, who is a familiar face in Grafenegg, is now considered one of the outstanding cello virtuosos. As a passionate teacher, he continues his commitment to the master class at the Louis Vuitton Foundation. Only the best cellists and prize winners from his "Classe d’Excellence de violoncelle" are part of Capucelli. The program features music from all genres and styles, including arrangements and transcriptions for this unique special ensemble, which brings not only its exceptional artistic caliber but also an unbridled joy of playing to Grafenegg.
