Born into a Franco-Polish family in Paris in 1995, Eva Zavoni is one of the most brilliant violinists of her generation. As a passionate player who ‘plays with her heart' (Ivry Gitlis), she appeared in many countries as soloist or chamber musician, sharing the stage with renowned artists. After studying at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris she completed her training with Julia Fischer in Munich, Germany. She was nominated in the ‘Revelation' category at the Victoires de la Musique Classique 2021. In 2018 she won First Prize and the Vadim Repin Prize for best Mozart interpretation at the Johannes Brahms International Competition in Pörtschach, Austria. Among her other distinctions are the Georges Enesco Prize of the SACEM and the ‘Revelation' Prize of the Fondation Engie (2023). At the age of fourteen, Eva appeared as soloist at the Salle Pleyel in Paris with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner. Since then, she has performed with numerous orchestras around the world. In 2019 she made her debut at the Berlin Philharmonie accompanied by the Potsdamer Kammerorchester in concertos by Mozart and Bach. This was followed in March 2021 by her debut at the Philharmonie de Paris with the Orchestre de Paris. She is also an enthusiastic interpreter of chamber music and has been a member of the Trio Hélios since 2023. Eva Zavaro plays an Italian violin named ‘Le Bel Inconnu', a product of the combined artistry of Nicolò Amati and Antonio Stradivari, which is generously loaned to her.
The Italian pianist Simone Alessandro Tavoni has given recitals internationally, including in the United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Hungary, France, Spain, Malta, Estonia, Greece and across Italy. After graduating from the Giacomo Puccini Conservatoire in La Spezia, Liguria (Italy) when he was 18, he studied at the Luigi Cherubini Conservatoire in Florence. In 2014, he moved to London to study on the Master of Performance programme at the Royal College of Music. In 2018 he obtained an Advanced Diploma course at Trinity Laban Conservatoire with professors Deniz Gelenbe and Peter Tuite majorly supported by a scholarship and selected as a Alfred Kitchin and Trinity College London Scholar. In 2019 he was selected as a Parklane Group Artist, and as Keyboard Charitable Trust Artist. He has been awarded a place on the BBC Pathway scheme during the 2015/2016 academic year and through this, he has had the opportunity to rehearse and perform as an orchestral pianist with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and some of these performances have been played by BBC Radio 3. He has performed at the Liszt House (Budapest, Hungary), Salon Christophori (Berlin, Germany), the Florence Conservatory Concert Hall (Florence, Italy), the Royal Festival Hall, the Wigmore Hall, and the Steinway Hall etc. He is also a regular guest artist at the En Blanc Et Noir Piano Festival in Lagrasse, (France) and of the Aegean international art festival in Heraklion (Crete). Simone has been generously supported by the Talent Unlimited organization. He is also a trustee of the Kensington and Chelsea Music Society and Artist Director of Paisajes Piano Festival in Spain. He is currently performing, closely assisted and supported by Prince Dr. Donatus Von Hohenzollern.
