Hermann narrates the story of how the musicians came together. “It’s all in the family. I met Hugues and Nicolas through my wife. Hugues is my wife’s brother, but he was a renowned violinist even before we met. And Nicolas is the principal violist of my wife’s orchestra -- the Orchestre National de France and my wife couldn’t stop ranting about his skills,” he reminisces. “
