New signings for early 2025

Hugo Panonacle Artistic Agency is delighted to present its new signings for early 2025! Four unique artistic universes, led by exceptional musical personalities, are joining our roster, ranging from internationally acclaimed soloists to innovative ensembles.

Founded in 2019 by the Italian-Brazilian conductor Simone Menezes, l’Ensemble K is a unique ensemble, made up of 14 soloists from the finest European stages. At the crossroads of classical, contemporary, and diverse artistic creation, Ensemble K promotes a bold vision of music as a space for the meeting of intellect, emotion, and spirit. Its identity rests on four pillars: Klassique, Kosmopolitain, Kréatif, and Konnecté. Present in the major musical cities (Milan, Paris, Vienna, Berlin…), the Ensemble has recorded several critically acclaimed albums, including Metanoia (2023 International Award) and Scheherazade, A Tale with Alpha Classics. Deeply involved in educational and social projects, particularly in Hauts-de-France, Ensemble K combines artistic excellence with civic engagement in the region.

Nicknamed “The Incandescent Violin” by Olivier Bellamy, Geza Hosszu-Legocky He has pursued a brilliant solo career since childhood. First recognized on the stages of the Verbier Festival and on NPR, he performs with prestigious orchestras (NHK, Radio France, Kremerata Baltica) and alongside renowned artists such as Martha Argerich, Mischa Maisky, Gidon Kremer, and Charles Dutoit. His recording with Argerich of Schumann (EMI Classics) remains a reference and was nominated for a Grammy Award. Founder of the Gypsy group The 5 DeViLs, he has been exploring the musical roots of Central Europe with passion and virtuosity for over twenty years.

We are also pleased to welcome Antoine Préata young Franco-Belgian pianist noted for his musical elegance and profound sensitivity.

Signed by Naïve at the age of 25, he regularly performs at Wigmore Hall, Petit Palais, Salle Gaveau, and at festivals such as Chopin à Nohant. His training took him from the École Normale de Musique Cortot to the Royal Academy of Music in London, via the Guildhall School, with a strong interest in historical keyboards (harpsichord, fortepiano). His playing, nourished by a rich musical culture, blends tradition and boldness across a repertoire ranging from Bach to contemporary music.

Finally, the agency is delighted to collaborate with the pianist Célia Oneto Bensaidwhose exceptional career combines virtuosity, curiosity, and artistic commitment. Trained at the CNSM of Paris (where she won five first prizes) and then at the École Normale de Musique, she has established herself as a distinctive interpreter, praised by critics for the strength of her musical proposals. She explores a wide repertoire, from major Romantic works to contemporary composers, with a particular interest in rare or little-performed pieces. Her engagement also extends to projects highlighting women composers and a constant dedication to artistic education.
