Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP) with Isabelle Moretti, and taught by Germaine Lorenzini, Marcel Cara (born 1996 in Charleville-Mézières) is part of the finest tradition of the French harp school. His playing, full of depth and colour, immediately catches the eye.
He has made his debut as a soloist in such emblematic venues as the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Fondation Singer-Polignac, the Cité de la Musique in Soissons, the Opéra de Paris, the auditorium of the Musée Guimet, the British Museum in London, Shiodome Hall in Tokyo, Merkin Hall in New York, Qintai Hall in Wuhan, the Sala São Paulo, and the Salon Sully at the Comédie-Française.
He has also been invited to perform at a number of festivals, including the Festival Messiaen au pays de la Meije, Giverny, Ancenis, Les Musicales de Colmar, the Festival de Pâques in Deauville, and has taken part in a tour organised by AJAM to several venues in Alsace.
From orchestra to recital, he explored every facet of his instrument from an early age. Chamber music occupies an essential place in his career, in collaboration with musicians such as Amaury Coeytaux, Philippe Bernold, Gérard Caussé, Christel Lee, Adrien La Marca, Amaury Viduvier, Emmanuel Coppey, Stéphanie Huang and the Hanson Quartet.
