In the Capuçon family, I ask for the brother! But Gautier not Renaud. If both are musicians, the second is a violinist when the first is a cellist. Renaud is also known to have been Laurence Ferrari’s companion for years. But his younger brother will take the light this Friday, February 4 on France 3 since he will present the Gala of Yellow Pieces at the Folies Gruss, a new version of “Symphony for life”. While he has just announced the creation of a foundation in his name, the musician accompanies Faustine Bollaert in the animation and confided for the occasion to our colleagues from TV Magazine.
“It’s a bit of a natural evolution after eight years as juror instrumentalists of “Prodiges” on France 2 and a third season on Radio Classique (“Les Carnets de Gautier”, at 11 am on weekends and in podcasts). I loved this role and I loved sharing it with Faustine. She guided me, she was so caring. Sincere and authentic, she had said that classical music was not her specialty but I think she is amazed by what she discovers. What I remember above all is this beautiful energy of sharing to mobilize in a good mood.“, he explains about his baptism of fire as an animator.
Gautier Capuçon evokes financial difficulties
While trying with his Foundation to help young musicians, Gautier Capuçon recognizes that the question of money mainly puts the profession in danger. “The context is harder, the culture has suffered enormously. “Les Victoires de la Musique Classique” also brought me recognition and support too. But the economic question hurts today. For this young generation, it is dramatic. I saw the suffering of these musicians who don’t know who to turn to, who can’t find concerts. For my part, I learn a new role which consists in finding contacts and financial supports.“, emphasizes the cellist.
