Polyglot flautist, performer, and improviser.
I play the baroque traverso, the "modern" transverse flute, the bansuri, the duduk, and the bendir.
Minimalist resume: professional training at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (class of Wilbert Hazelzet), the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris (Marc Hantaï, Hélène d'Yvoire), the CRR de Chalon/S (Ph. Burtey), Villeurbanne (Jazz, Traverso with Serge Saitta), and the Bansuri Flute in India with Haraprasad Chaurasia, Harsh Whardan, and Chintan Katti.
Invited to participate in several trio recitals with William Christie (French music) and to work under the direction of Philippe Herreweghe (Jeune Atlantique orchestra), I am currently the first flute in Franck-Emmanuel Comte's Concert de l'Hostel-Dieu (with whom I recorded Rameau's Sibaris/ffff Télérama).
Also a soloist with the UNISONI ensemble (Lyon) and the Ensemble Baroque du Léman (Geneva/Lausanne), I participate in numerous concerts with these ensembles in France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Spain, Slovenia, Italy, Hungary, India, Portugal, and more.
