Nevermind

The love and passion of ancient repertoire and music from all horizons led Anna Besson, Louis Creac’h, Robin Pharo, and Jean Rondeau to create the group Nevermind in 2013. Together they share and present works they love to a wider and more varied audience, transcending the quartet repertoire (flute, violin, viola da gamba and harpsichord) of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The concerts given by the quartet have only reinforced their conviction: the friendship that emerges from these four musicians appears through passion and a real pleasure of playing, all carried by a striking complicity and devout collaboration. 

In 2014, Nevermind won the third prize and special festival prize at the Van Wassenaer Competition in Utrecht. The ensemble have performed throughout France and Europe, as well as in the United States at the Boston Early Music Festival and at the esteemed Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio. Furthermore the quartet have traveled to and performed in Canada with Pro Musica, in Iceland and Russia, namely in Saint Petersburg and in the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic Concert Hall of Yekaterinburg. 

Nevermind have had the opportunity to perform at prestigious venues such as the Auditorium of the Louvre, the Salle Cortot and the Theater des Champs-Elysees in Paris. Touring is key to Nevermind’s success and they have had the pleasure of also performing at the Hong Kong City Hall, Warsaw Philharmonie, Hamburg Philharmonic, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam, Concertgebouw Bruges, BOZAR in Brussels, LSO St Lukes and at the Barbican in London.
