The Sésame Quartet was born in 2013 around a project devoted to the music of Franz Schubert,thanks to the impetus of Udo Reinemann during his festival Romantic Hours between the Loir and the Loire, and rapidly increased by one member with the addition of pianist Julien Le Pape. The paths of its musicians had already crossed via various chamber music projects; today the five form a group of strong and varied personalities united by that rare cohesiveness that allows an ensemble to reach a true unity,rich in texture, in style and in substance.

The Ensemble Sésame became the artistic directors of the new festival The Sésameries of Mirmande. They also played in the first musical short film of Jakez Hubert.
