Les Trilles du Diable - photo©C.Doutre-TransArt

Nemanja Radulovic, the Illico Quartet and Stanislas Kuchinsky gathered around one same idea, to offer the widest possible audience their pleasure of living and sharing music on stage. From Nemanja Radulovic’s incandescent virtuosity, to the Illico Quartet’s scenic feel and Stanislas Kuchinsky’s expressive power on bass, a world is created where the string family is all back together. At the border between chamber music and orchestra, The Trilles du Diable ring and vibrate, revisiting virtuoso violin works by Kreisler, Wieniawski, Vitali, Tchaikovsky, Tartini ..., to our greatest delight.
