Undisputedly one of the most dexterous and gifted minds in classical music, Andreï Korobeinikov is not only one of today’s leading pianists, but also one of the most searching and extraordinary artistic interpreters of our time. Born in Russia in 1986, Korobeinikov took his first piano lessons at the age of five, making his professional recital debut just three years later. Clearly in possession of a prodigious gift for music, in 2001 he entered the Moscow’s State Tchaikovsky Conservatoire, studying in the class of Professor Andreï Diev. Upon graduation, he was awarded the unusual honour of “Best Musician of the Decade”, before going on to obtain a post-graduate performance degree from the Royal College of Music, London.
Tiziano Palladino, born in Campobasso in 1987, is widely regarded as one of the leading mandolinists of his generation.

Palladino has won major international awards, including first prize at the Raffaele Calace Competition (2006) and the National Arts Award (2011).

Maví Lou is the solo project of Louise, a French singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. With a background in both music and architecture, she views creativity as a way of shaping spaces — whether sonic or physical. After years performing in the U.S. with her former band The Dove & The Wolf, she settled in Nashville, where her personal artistic voice began to take form. Her debut EP, Grapefruit Meditation, was born from a daily songwriting ritual meant to fill the quiet after touring. Through warm, intimate textures, Maví Lou explores themes of anxiety, dreams, and healing with emotional honesty and poetic subtlety. Now based between Paris, she continues to grow her solo project guided by a desire for authenticity, emotional depth, and creative freedom.
A French composer born in 1953. He went on to devote himself to writing, and completed his “humanities” at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. From the outset, writing tonal music was a matter for him, and he has never wavered in his conviction that tonality conceals an infinite number of unexplored regions. It wasn't until 2000, at Jean-François Zygel's invitation, that he joined the Phœnix group. His music is rooted in the works of Bach, Brahms, Ravel, Fauré, Prokofiev... He has performed with a wide range of ensembles, from orchestra to choir, to chamber music and organ, he devotes most of his output to the piano. His music is performed mainly in France, but also more widely in Europe, China and the United States. In 2001, the Académie des Beaux-Arts awarded him the Prix Florent Schmitt. He teaches composition at the Debussy and Jean-Philippe Rameau Conservatories, as well as at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris and the Schola Cantorum. He is published by Editions Durand, Eschig, Billaudot and Delatour.
