Pierre Colombet (violin), Mathieu Herzog (viola), Gabriel Le Masgadure (violin), and Raphaël Merlin (cello) will be performing works by Hayden, Bertok and Schumann. The touring schedule for this highly respected ensemble includes regular performances at major concert venues across Europe, Asia and North America.
