Pianist Maarten den Hengst and violinist Floor Le Coultre have been playing together since Spring 2017. They first met as soloists at the Triple concert of Beethoven. Together they dove into the extensive repertoire for piano and violin.

Floor Le Coultre winner of the Young Dutch Music talent title in November 2011, established herself as a passionate and profound chamber musician. Floor began playing the violin at the age of four with her aunt as her first mentor. She continued her studies with Joyce Tan, Ilona Sie Dhian Ho, Pavel Vernikov, and Ilya Grubert. In 2014 she finished her master's with distinction for her compelling musicianship. Floor performs regularly with guitarist Martin van Hees as violinist and violist. Besides she is a member of the Hermitage Quartet, a duo partner with pianist Maarten den Hengst and a duo partner with violinist Tim Brackman.

Floor is asked frequently as a chamber musician in various ensembles and at festivals such as Stift Festival, Peter de Grote Festival, and Thy Chamber Music Festival in Denmark. Since 2013 she is a guest player (both violin and viola) with Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Ludwig, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and RCO Camerata a.o. Floor plays a French violin by Pierre Silvestre from 1858, kindly lent to her by the Dutch National Music Instrument Foundation. Floor’s viola was made in 2014 by Matthieu Legros. The Purchase of the viola was made possible by the ‘Stichting Eigen Muziekinstrument’.
