It was during a concert in Mirecourt in 2015 that the four musicians met. From this human and musical experience emerged the desire to form a permanent quartet. The Convergence Quartet Mirecourt was born in spring 2016. Since its creation, this quartet has been developing artistic projects that reach out to all audiences, as well as raising awareness of classical music among young people.
Their first concert "Heritage and music walk on the path of the instrument makers and lace makers from Mirecourt to Poussay..." took place on 18 September 2016 as part of the European Heritage Days.
Since then, they have been performing regularly in the Grand Est region, always with the desire to pass on their passion for chamber music to as many people as possible.
The current members of the Convergence Quartet:
Pascal Monlong (violin)
Yann Regnault (violin)
Virginie Bourhaux (viola)
Florent Bellom (cello)
Born in Lyon (France), Yann Dubost began studying music with the violin, then the double bass. He studied with Philippe Guingouain and Bernard Cazauran, graduated from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon, and joined in 2002 the Orchestre de Paris, at the age of 19. He worked three summers with Seiji Ozawa in his International Music Academy – Switzerland, and won 1st prizes of the International Society of Bassists Solo Competition (2005, USA), Wattrelos Competition (1999, France) and Haverhill Soloist Competition (2004, England). He became in 2011 principal double bass in the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, conducted by M.W. Chung. As guest principal Yann has played in the London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, Opéra National de Lyon, Les Dissonances, Les Siècles…
Born in Marseille, in the south of France, violinist Anna Göckel has already graced several of the world’s greatest stages, from Tokyo to the Mexico Opera, to the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, Victoria Hall
in Geneva, the Herkulessaal in Munich, Montreal’s Musée des Beaux-Arts, the Salle Flagey in Brussels, and the Festival de la Roque d’Anthéron.
Proud recipient of the SACEM Enesco Prize in 2020 for her involvement in the creation and performance of new music; nominated as newcomer of the year in 2016 by the French-Grammy “Révélations Classiques de
l’ADAMI,” Anna Göckel is one of the most fascinating violinists of her generation. Her curiosity leads her to explore a diverse repertoire ranging from the baroque period on historical instruments to the most contemporary music.
Being the only French violinist to reach the semi-finals during the last Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2019, Anna made a very strong and positive impression on the public and with the press. She is a laureate of numerous international competitions, including Carl Flesh Competition, Leopold Mozart, Charles Hennen, the International Berlin Competition, and the ARD Wettbewerb in Munich.
