ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The voice of the cello of Julie Sévilla Fraysse travels its notes on all shores, genres, eras, multiplying the forms to sublimate the purpose, thus carrying classical excellence as well as French elegance and modernity. A former member of the Orchestra de la Garde Republicaine and then of the Opéra de Paris, she now pursues a career as a soloist, playing the grand concertos of the repertoire with different orchestras and chamber music with Anastasia Calmus, among other.
Anastasia Calmus is considered to be an original concert pianist with brilliant technique, and she easily captures the audience with her profound emotional and sensitive musicianship. Her performing skills cover a wide area of musical genres, proving to be a well-versed pianist as an accompanist in vocal music, chamber ensembles, and musical theater.
