“Her interpretation is revelatory.” (Le Monde)

A French pianist born in 2002, Bella Schütz is a laureate of international competitions such as the Lyon International Piano Competition and Piano Campus. A guest at prestigious festivals (Nohant, Mozarteum in Salzburg, Auvers-sur-Oise, etc.), she has an international career as a soloist and chamber musician.

Her debut album Chiaroscuro (2025), dedicated to Bach and Chopin, was critically acclaimed and has exceeded one million streams. She is also a founding member of the Callas Trio, which performs on stages across Europe and the United States.

Originally from Toulouse, sisters Anna, Magdalena, and Caroline decided to form their trio after meeting at the Paris Conservatory in 2016. Artists in residence at the Singer-Polignac Foundation, they joined Günter Pichler's (Alban Berg Quartet) chamber music class at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid.

They were attracted to the string trio format by the specificity of its writing, combining a search for homogeneity between the three instruments with a sometimes more concertante approach. In collaboration with pianists Alexandre Kantorow, Adam Laloum, and Clément Lefebvre, they explore the piano quartet repertoire.

Since its creation, the Sypniewski Trio has been invited to perform at numerous festivals in France, such as the Jeudis Musicaux de Royan, Août Musical de Deauville, l'Orangerie de Sceaux, and the Festival d'Auvers-sur-Oise, as well as abroad at the Ohrid Summer Festival (Macedonia) and the French Consulate in New York. 

For the third consecutive year, Les Musicales de Cazenac will offer two exceptional musical evenings. They will be held on Friday, April 10, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 11, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.

These concerts will bring together pianist Bella Schütz and the Sypniewski Trio, conducted by Jean-Luc Tingaud.

A rising star of the younger generation, Bella Schütz already has an internationally acclaimed career. Alongside her, the Sypniewski Trio—made up of three sisters, Anna, Magdalena, and Caroline—stands out for the finesse of its playing and its commitment to chamber music.

Friday's concert will be devoted to Romanticism with works by Frédéric Chopin, Franz Schubert, and Franz Liszt, combining lyricism and virtuosity.

On Saturday, the program will span the Baroque and Classical periods with Johann Sebastian Bach, Henry Purcell, and Ludwig van Beethoven, in a musical dialogue rich in contrasts.

Two complementary concerts that promise emotion, intensity, and elegance at the heart of the Musicales de Cazenac.

Prices: €20 per concert – €35 for both concerts – €7 (under 18) – free (under 10).
