Start the day with a Cello Suite by Bach

Program

Suite No. 5 in c minor

Performers

Raphaël Pidoux

Six festival days start the way any day really should start: with a light breakfast and freshly pressed orange juice, a warm croissant and a cappuccino, followed by one of Johann Sebastian Bach’s six Cello Suites, each one performed by a different cellist. A Biënnale classic, loved by everyone!

Normally the suites are performed by cellists who have not performed on the Biënnale. Specially for the tenth Cello Biënnale, we have asked six ‘veterans’ who have previously graced our mornings at half past nine. 

Breakfast from 08:45

Raphaël Pidoux 

Raphaël Pidoux (France, 1967) learned to play the cello from his father. At the age of seventeen he entered the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris where he studied under Philippe Muller, Jean- Claude Pennetier and Christophe Coin. Later he studied under the direction of Janos Starker in Bloomington (US). He was a prize winner at the Bach Cello Competition in Leipzig. Besides his international career with the Wanderer Trio, Raphaël Pidoux frequently plays with Christophe Coin, accordionist Richard Galliano, the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges and the Mosaïc Quartet, as well as with orchestras such as Les Siècles and Orchestre de l’Opéra de Rouen.  Raphaël Pidoux teaches at the Conservatoire national supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris and plays a cello made by Goffredo Cappa, around 1680.
