A passionate chamber musician, he is a member of the wind ensemble Saxback, an unconventional group created around the figure of Adolphe Sax and the instrumentarium associated with him. In chamber music, his duo with pianist Françoise Bu\et-Arsenijevic has taken him to major French venues such as Salle Gaveau and Salle Cortot.In 2024, Nicolas Arsenijevic was appointed to the prestigious position of saxophone professor at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris.Lise CharrinBorn in 1986 in the center of France, Lise Charrin studied the piano in the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris with famous French pianists Bruno Rigutto, Anne Que\élec and Franck Braley.
