1 Sophie Guille des Buttes 2 violin 3 #ce9b03 4 #203864 5 What is your professional background? I started playing the violin at age seven, after being moved by a recording of Christian Ferras performing the Sibelius concerto. I was then accompanied by three great pedagogues to whom I owe my musical aesthetic: Christophe Poiget, Roland Daugareil and Luc-Marie Aguera. When we started the quartet, I found an ideal way of expressing myself thanks to a beautiful group synergy and an amazing repertoire! In 2021, I obtained my master's degree in violin at the CNSMDP, and entered the Paris Chamber Orchestra. 6 7 Your house at Hogwarts? Hufflepuff! "You might belong in Hufflepuff, / Where they are just and loyal, / Those patient Hufflepuffs are true, / And unafraid of toil." 8 9 A composer who moves you? Two! Beethoven and Ravel. 10 11 A work that moves you? Beethoven's *14^th^ quartet*. 12 13 Your hobbies?

The Ginkgo Biloba's. 18 19 A vivid memory? A concert by the Tetzlaff quartet at the Philharmonie de Paris performing Shostakovich's *11^th^ quartet*. Hypnotizing! 20 21 Your preferred city? Barcelona for the fantastic universe of Gaudí. 22 23 The books you like? The *Malaussène* series by Daniel Pennac, a detective novel full of madcap poetry that chronicles the incidents of an unconventional family, and the *Ellana* saga by Pierre Bottero, the adventures of a young woman smitten by freedom. 24 25 What brings you together? A good meal and a good card game! 26 27 A dream? To go on tour with the quartet in small towns around France, to meet people, share our music... doing all the travelling on two tandem bikes!!
