Over the years, Soni Siecinski has learnt to turn constraints into opportunities for exploration. Now a Master’s student at the CNSMDP in Raphaël Pidoux’s class, the young cellist—who was born with a deformity in his left hand—is juggling a busy musical schedule whilst pursuing a project that is as personal as it is ambitious: the design of a new prosthesis intended to revolutionise his playing, but also to provide him with greater comfort and freedom of movement.

For the first time in its history, Talents & Violon’celles is launching a major awareness campaign focused on bequests. Whilst our work has so far relied on the loyalty of our patrons, we now wish to explore this new avenue of support in order to significantly increase our resources, expand our instrument collection and meet the growing demand from musicians of the highest calibre.

On 17 February 2026, our early music department reached a historic milestone: the first six instruments, commissioned in mid-2024, were unveiled at a private evening event attended by the two patrons.
