MOZART Divertimento kv 563

SCHUBERT Trio satz d471

Trio 21 was born from the meeting of three dedicated, close-knit, and passionate musicians. Rooted in a rich experience of the performing arts scene, Clément, Thomas, and Rasmus explore the art of blending their three individual voices into a single musical expression. In their rehearsals, the musicians find an opportunity to explore music in a new way; to bring it closer to their audience, and to share with them the joy of a unique, intimate, and heartfelt concert.

Rasmus Cornelius Hansen Violin

A Danish-Swedish violinist currently based in France, he has been the second violinist of the Quatuor Varèse since 2024.

He began his studies in Denmark before entering the Barratt Due Institute in Oslo in 2015, where he studied with Stephan Barratt-Due. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree in 2019, he enrolled at the CNSMD in Lyon for a master’s program under the guidance of Marianne Piketty, Manuel Solans, and Harvey de Souza. He subsequently pursued a postgraduate program—the Solo Violin Artist Diploma—in partnership with the Orchestre National Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

A dedicated chamber musician, he performs at various festivals across France and Europe and has also stepped in to play with the Quatuor Béla.

Highly active in the orchestral world, he is frequently called upon to perform with ensembles such as the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre National Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the Orchestre Victor Hugo, the Orchestre National de Lyon, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, and the Orchestre National de Lille. He has also gained experience as a solo violinist with the Orchestre National Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and as a substitute player with the Orchestre des Pays de Savoie.

As a soloist, he has performed with the Orchestre National Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire, the CNSMD Lyon Orchestra, and the InnWien ensemble, as well as appearing several times with the South Jutland Symphony Orchestra. Most recently, he performed the Sibelius and Tchaikovsky concertos with the Orchestre Lunae in Lyon.

Clément Hoareau – Viola

After studying the violin for about ten years, Clément Hoareau decided to try his hand at the viola and, at the same time, play his first notes in a string quartet. This sparked a passion that truly took shape during his studies at the CNSMD in Lyon. He had the opportunity to hone his skills under members of renowned quartets and even share the stage with some of them, such as the Danel Quartet and the Voce Quartet. Alongside his work as a chamber musician, he is occasionally invited to perform as a soloist—on both viola and violin—with amateur ensembles. In 2022, he participated in the 5th Tokyo International Viola Competition. Clément Hoareau joined the Wassily Quartet in November 2021. In 2024, he also became the artistic director of the Meltin’Cordes Campus Orchestra.

Thomas Ravez – Cello
Coming from a family of musicians, Thomas Ravez was introduced to classical music at an early age. He began playing the cello at seven and, a few years later, entered the Reims Regional Conservatory (CNR) to study under Marc-Didier Thirault. This pivotal encounter inspired him to further his studies and work with other great masters, such as Jean-Marie Gamard, Erwan Fauré, Gary Hoffman, Christophe Coin, and Yvan Chiffoleau. He earned First Prizes at the conservatories of Reims, Rueil-Malmaison, and the Schola Cantorum in Paris, before entering the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon, where he studied with cellist Anne Gastinel and her assistant, Edouard Sapey-Triomphe. Thomas received his Master’s degree from the Lyon Conservatory in June 2010. It was during his studies in Lyon that he met violinist François Galichet; their shared passion for chamber music soon led them to form the Varèse Quartet.
