Within just a few short years the Hugo Wolf Quartet (est. 1993) has developed from an insider’s tip to one of the most sought after string quartets of its generation. Critics the world over have provided testimony to its rapid development.

The late Romantic composer Hugo Wolf was situated between the great Viennese music tradition and its departure into the Modern period; his name is thus used as a symbol for a performing repertoire that stretches from the Classical period to music far past the Second Viennese School.

The L’Orchestre de Chambre Français is based in Senlis, north of Paris, as the resident orchestra of the 18th Century Théâtre Impérial de Compiègne — France’s most famous theater for French music. The passion, daring and imagination of the French Chamber Orchestra make it equally at home in Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Contemporary music.

From concert to concert, its talented instrumentalists have shown their enthusiasm for playing orchestral music in the spirit of chamber music. Individual players bring with them that particular passion for individual and collective music making.
