Claire-Marie Le Guay

François Salque is one of those rare musicians who is both pure and uncompromising, with a chiseled playing style that embodies the most beautiful lyricism. His eclecticism, as well as his precise and incandescent bow, have made him one of the most renowned French performers of his generation. 

At his side is the luminous Claire-Marie Le Guay. Her vast repertoire knowledge, musical intellect, and beautiful pallet of timbres turn each of their performances into a one-of-a-kind moment.

The unfailing musical complicity of these two accomplished soloists, who met at the age of 18, and their deep understanding of different musical languages, allow us to savour the most powerful stylistic and aesthetic developments of a particularly rich literature.
