Ensemble

 

L'yriade is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2005 by a group of young musicians who shared a passion for chamber music. The ensemble is based in Paris, France, and is known for its innovative and dynamic performances of classical and contemporary music. The founding members of L'yriade were violinist Raphaël Oleg, cellist Marc Coppey, and pianist François-Frédéric Guy. All three musicians were accomplished soloists and chamber musicians who had performed extensively throughout Europe and the United States. They came together with the goal of creating a chamber music ensemble that would showcase their individual talents while also exploring new and exciting repertoire. Over the years, L'yriade has expanded to include a rotating cast of musicians, including some of the most talented young performers in France. The ensemble's core members, however, remain Oleg, Coppey, and Guy, who continue to lead the group with their artistic vision and musical expertise. One of the highlights of L'yriade's early career was their performance at the Festival de La Roque d'Anthéron in 2006. The festival is one of the most prestigious classical music events in France, and L'yriade's performance was widely praised for its energy, precision, and musicality. The ensemble went on to perform at other major festivals throughout Europe, including the Salzburg Festival, the Edinburgh International Festival, and the Lucerne Festival. In addition to their festival appearances, L'yriade has also performed at some of the most renowned concert halls in the world, including the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, the Wigmore Hall in London, and Carnegie Hall in New York. Their performances have been praised for their technical virtuosity, emotional depth, and innovative programming. L'yriade has also been recognized with numerous awards and accolades throughout their career. In 2008, they were awarded the Diapason d'Or for their recording of Beethoven's complete piano trios, which was praised for its "impeccable technique, perfect balance, and profound musicality." They have also been awarded the Victoires de la Musique Classique, France's most prestigious classical music award, and have been nominated for several Grammy Awards. One of the hallmarks of L'yriade's performances is their commitment to exploring new and innovative repertoire. The ensemble has commissioned and premiered works by some of the most exciting contemporary composers working today, including Kaija Saariaho, Thierry Escaich, and Philippe Hersant. They have also collaborated with artists from other disciplines, including dancers, visual artists, and writers, to create multimedia performances that push the boundaries of traditional chamber music. Despite their many accomplishments, L'yriade remains committed to their original vision of creating a chamber music ensemble that is both artistically innovative and deeply rooted in the classical tradition. Their performances continue to inspire audiences around the world with their technical brilliance, emotional depth, and musicality.
