Trio Zadig is thrilled to share some exciting news: violinist Miclen LaiPang has been entrusted with the Antonio Stradivari "Charles Castleman, ex-Marquis de Champeaux" violin from 1707. This exceptional instrument, crafted during Stradivari's golden period, was generously gifted to the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel by Charles Castleman, Miclen’s former mentor.

On loan to Miclen for the next three years, this remarkable violin will later continue to inspire future generations of violinists at the Chapel.

The trio is now proud to feature two extraordinary instruments: Miclen’s Antonio Stradivari and Marc Girard-Garcia’s Andrea Guarneri cello. This unique pairing creates a rich and harmonious sound, elevating each performance and adding new dimensions to their music.

Trio Zadig looks forward to sharing the magic of these instruments in their upcoming concerts and recordings. Exciting musical adventures await!

We are thrilled to officially welcome Guillaume Vincent as our new pianist! After a wonderful time traveling and performing with him on the MS Europa 2 cruise from Montreal to Hamburg this past June, and several concerts in France, we’ve been loving his creativity and energy. We’ve also had the opportunity to rehearse a lot together, uncovering creative musical ideas. Guillaume, who has had a distinguished solo career and is an experienced chamber musician, has been a fantastic addition to Trio Zadig, and we’re excited for the incredible collaboration ahead.

We’re also thrilled that Guillaume has joined us just in time for our next exciting projects—we’ve got some amazing things in the works, and we can’t wait to share them with you soon!

Trio Zadig is honored and grateful to be able to play on two magnificent instruments by Andrea and Guiseppe Guarneri, generously loaned by the Boubo-Music Foundation.

Miclen LaiPang plays on a violin made in 1697 by Guiseppe "filius Andrea Guarneri" and Marc Girard Garcia on a cello by Andrea Guarneri dating from 1675.

We are happy to announce that both Marc and Miclen have the privilege to join the Thomastik-Infeld Artist family!

We look forward to working with Thomastik-Infeld in creating a uniformed string sound between the cello and violin and incorporating it with the beautiful sonorities of the piano!

We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of our friend and virtuoso violinist Miclen LaiPang to our ensemble!

Growing up in Los Angeles and honing his craft across the USA, Germany, and Austria, Miclen has graced the stage with renowned artists, served as a concertmaster for major orchestras, and has built numerous music festivals such as the Miesbach Kammermusikfestival which he is currently the artistic director for.

He’s been highly praised by The New York Times as “a force to be reckoned with…” and German newspaper Die Welt as “a musician of daring virtuosity with gripping access and noble elegance”.

Having first crossed paths at the iPalpiti Festival in 2019, it was clear from our earliest collaborations that we had a strong musical connection with Miclen. We were fortunate that he was able to step in for a few concerts over the years, and the chemistry and ease of music making was immediate.

With his strong background as a soloist, chamber musician, concertmaster, and as an advocate for contemporary composers, Miclen brings to our Trio a wealth of experience and a unique voice that will undoubtedly inspire our music to reach new heights.

We are beyond excited to start this new chapter together and look forward to sharing our music with you all in concerts!

A new page has been turned in the Trio Zadig adventure. After eight very intense years filled with concerts, travel and crazy experiences, Boris Borgolotto has decided to open up to new horizons. 

 Our journey with him has been nothing short of extraordinary. For 8 remarkable years, Boris has been an integral part of our trio, sharing his passion, talent, and an immeasurable bond that made us more than just a group - something that felt like family.

We've played music in venues worldwide and created lifelong memories. It's rare to find someone who not only shares your love for music but also becomes an integral part of your life. We want to thank Boris for his musical passion, his fun loving spirit, and dedication to the group. Our journey together has been unforgettable.
