International French violin virtuoso François Pineau-Benois will be playing the technically demanding Caprices by Paganini, whose amazing violin skills were believed to be a gift from the devil, in exchange of his soul.
ABOUT THE CONCERT
A violinist of the new generation, François Pineau-Benois has been nicknamed the “French virtuoso” by the international press. He holds masters degrees in violin and chamber music from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP). He has appeared as soloist with symphony orchestras abroad and in France on several occasions. His performance of Vieuxtemps’s 5th concerto with the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia in April 2023 drew rapturous applause from the standing-room-only audience in the presence of their Excellencies the Ambassadors of Belgium and France; Paganini’s 24 Caprices in July 2023 in Finland was praised by professionals, testifying to the fact that for over thirty years in Finland no such performance has been heard.
