THE DEVIL’S TRILLS ensemble, immediately upon its foundation in 2005, left both audiences and music critics impressed. After their first album, a live recording for the Decca label, there followed the albums Five Seasons, Paganini Fantasy, and Journey East, as well as Bach, recorded for Deutsche Gramophone. The members of the ensemble perform in prestigious venues and are regularly invited to festivals such as Un Violon sur le Sable, the Ohrid Summer, Rheingau Musik Festival, Kustenforf Film and Music Festival, Reims Flâneries, and others. They have established collaborations in several projects with numerous artists, including Marielle Nordmann, Laure Favre-Kahn, Patrice Fontanarosa, Yvan Cassar, Aleksandar Sedlar, Marc Olivier Dupin, and Emir Kusturica. Driven by a desire to expand their passion and audience, they also collaborate with Jeunesses Musicales France to encourage and enable young people to discover music. In addition, the ensemble is not averse to playing in places such as railway and subway stations, or nightclubs. In the season 2017/2018 is a forthcoming tour of Europe and Asia.
