The Zadig Trio

Awarded 11 international prizes, the Zadig Trio captivates audi-ences with its virtuosity, elegance and irresistible enthusiasm.

Friendship is at the core of the Zadig Trio’s strength and authentici-ty. Boris Borgolotto and Marc Girard Garcia are childhood friends who studied together at the Paris Conservatoire National de Musique and at the University of Music in Vienna. Upon their return to France, they crossed paths with Ian Barber, an American pianist from the renowned André Watts’ studio at the University of Indiana. The chemistry between them is immediately apparent. All three men are drawn by a strong desire to live out their passion as sincerely as possible and therefore decided to combine their desires together and found the Zadig Trio.

In just a few years, the Zadig Trio has become very successful and won numerous awards, including the First Prize of the “Fnapec Mu-siques d’Ensemble” – in the footsteps of renowned ensembles like the Ysaÿe Quartet, the Ebene Quartet and the Wanderer Trio – as well as the Second Prize of the Fischoff Competition (USA).

The trio has performed all over the world, from the USA to the Re-public of Congo, and played in several prestigious concert halls such as Wigmore Hall, Shanghai City Theater and Paris’ Philharmonic and Salle Cortot. In parallel with this demanding schedule, the Zadig Trio has met with great artists who have contributed to the development of its musical expression, most notably Ivry Gitlis and Menahem Pressler.

Due to its auspicious beginning, the Zadig Trio has been invited to sev-eral broadcast shows: « Génération Jeunes Interprètes » by Gaëlle Le Gallic and « Le nouveau Rendez-Vous » by Laurent Goumarre on French Public Radio (France Musique & France Inter) as well as « Puisque vos avez du talent » by Laurent Graulus on Musiq’3 (RTBF) in Belgium.

The Zadig Trio is currently a resident of the Queen Elizabeth Music Chapel alongside the Artemis Quartet. It is also the first resident of ProQuartet and is supported by the Banque Populaire Foundation.

Boris Borgolotto plays a 1750 violin by the famous Italian mak-er Carlo Antonio Testore. Marc Girard Garcia plays a Frank Rav-atin cello, generously loaned to him by the El Pasito association.

This season’s itinerary will highlight the trio’s commitment to open-ness and sharing. First the Zadig Trio will tackle the piano quartet repertoire with violists Krzysztof Chorzelski (Belcea Quartet) and Yung-Hsin Chang (Hermes Quartet). It will also participate in a proj-ect with the composer Benjamin Attahir, currently in residence at the Villa Medicis. Finally, because its members firmly believe in the universal power of classical music to break down barriers, the Za-dig Trio will continue to engage in humanitarian and social projects, notably by playing for prison inmates and handicapped children.

From Haydn to contemporary composers, the Zadig Trio’s au-dacity and freshness gives youth and vitality to the trio repertoire. The depth and sincerity of its interpretations, as well as its viv-id poetic sound, make it the creator of captivating performances.
