About the Artist

The Paris Piano is Regis Pasquier, violin; Roland Pidoux, cello; and Jean Claude Pennetier, piano. These three great French soloists have been connected by their love of chamber music since they were students together at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris. Each graduated with top honors from the Conservatory (where they are all now professors) and rapidly established a major solo career.

In all the years since, they have consistently made time to tour together on the continent, in England and in Canada . At the peak of their individual careers, they are making an increased commitment to the Trio, where they have the opportunity to express simultaneously their musical individuality and their total musical rapport. The Trio's first major tour of the United States, in January 1998, won superlatives from critics and presenters across the country, and it has since been re-engaged in major cities from Washington to Los Angeles.
