About the Musicians

Gauthier Herrmann is not your typical musician. A passionate cello player with a focus on chamber music, as well as the founder and director of “Artie’s Festival”, Hermann has travelled the world for many years in the company of his family and fellow musicians.
His focus and determination have led him to be held in high regard in the classical musical circuit. He has received acclaim at the Florence, Heerlen, Illzach, Vibrarte and Fnapec Music Competitions. In 2001, Gauthier Herrmann discovered India, a trip which gave birth to Artie’s, an adventurous project summed up by two words at the heart of modern day classical music : family and enterprise.
Besides India, the ‘Artie’s Festival’ has toured in China, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Vietnam, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Europe.
Cyprien Brod discovered his instrument at the age of 6, when he first heard it. As an active and curious child, he practiced the violin alongside other activities. It was four years later that the musician attended Hilary Hahn’s concert. After listening to the artist, he was inspired to devote himself to music and make it his profession. The practice of the violin then became his priority.
Many artists inspire Brod, such as Maxim Vengerov, Kavakos, Luc Marie Aguera, as well as Philippe Bernhard of the Modigliani quartet. He aspires to a career as a quartet player. In early 2017, he made progress towards this goal by forming the Elmire Quartet, in which he played with Khoa-Nam Nguyen, Issey Nadaud, and Remi Carlon.
Romain Descharmes was awarded First Prize in the Dublin International Piano Competition in 2006, leading him to perform recitals on prestigious stages such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Wigmore Hall in London, National Concert Hall in Dublin, Minato Hall in Yokohama, Tsuda Hall and Hakuju Hall in Tokyo, as well as Salle Cortot and Salle Pleyel in Paris.
Descharmes is much sought-after as a chamber musician; renowned for his attentive, sensitive playing and wide repertoire, which ranges from sonatas to larger ensemble pieces, and lieder. He has collaborated with Roland Daugareil, Henri Demarquette, Laurent Korcia, Sarah Nemtanu, the Court-Circuit Ensemble, and the Ebène Philarmoniker Quintette.
Artie’s Festival is brought to Pune by the Alliance Française de Pune in association with The Poona Music Society.
