Photo Luzzati_page-0001

Constance Luzzati has made expanding the harp repertoire through transcription of early music and the commission of new contemporary works a lifetime ambition. In 2014, she completed a doctorate in performance (CNSMDP and Université Paris- Sorbonne) focusing on transcriptions for harp of 18th century French harpsichord repertoire. She has adapted all of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s works for harpsichord, but also transcribed part of the pieces by Louis and François Couperin, Pancrace Royer, Jean-Baptiste Forqueray, Jean-Jacques Duplhy, Domenico Scarlatti and Johann Sebastian Bach.
A collaboration with several composers (Bruno Mantovani and Édith Lejet, whose works she has premiered) has enriched her relationship with living contemporary music. If her soloist activity is devoted to the renewal of the repertoire through ancient transcription and contemporary creation, her chamber music activity is more focused on the heart of the repertoire composed for harp, from Fauré to Berio, through Debussy, Ravel or Sohy. She has recorded several CDs devoted to these works: Normandie et Impressionnisme (Skarbo, 2010), with the soloists of the Rouen Opera, and more recently Charlotte Sohy, composer of the Belle-Époque (La boîte à pépites, 2022), with the flutist Mathilde Calderini and the Hermes Quartet.

Constance Luzzati has had the opportunity to share her favorite repertoire with the public in numerous Parisian halls (Philharmonie – Cité de la musique, Maison de la radio, Petit Palais), French festivals (Musicales d’Assy, Musique en chemin, Folles journées de Nantes, Flâneries de Reims, Festival de Besançon), as well as abroad (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, Netherlands, Hungary, Japan, United States). She has won two international first prizes, and is a laureate or finalist in four other international competitions, including the Concert Artists Guild in New York, which is open to all instruments. In France, she has been distinguished by the Avant-scènes du CNSMDP, Cultures France, and the Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet Foundation for Vocation.

The harpsichordist Kenneth Weiss and the harpists Isabelle Moretti, Germaine Lorenzini, Françoise Netter and Mara Galassi were her mentors. Their teaching was complemented by that of many others at the CNSMDP where, before her doctorate and more advanced studies, she followed the complete curriculum of the classes of harp, chamber music, history of music, analysis, musical culture and aesthetics.
Constance is passionate about enabling better communication about music. She regularly gives lectures for all kinds of audiences at the Philharmonie de Paris as well as in the University’s community and rural festivals. She teaches musical culture in conservatoires from beginners to advanced students. She supervises students for masters degrees, and has been a professor of music history at the Conservatoire de Paris – CNSMDP since 2021.
More than this, Constance is very interested in the encounter and exchange between musical repertoire and theology. Since 2014 she has made this the focus of her studies at the University of Geneva. She has also developed her understanding of the world of theatre at the Cours Florent. This has allowed her to work on the productions of Emmanuel Demarcy-Motta and Jacques Vincey, and also to create shows combining music, text and circus arts.

Cyril Huvé

Cyril Huvé is a disciple of Claudio Arrau and was also fortunate enough to be coached by Georges Cziffra. In addition to Huvé’s studies at the Paris Conservatory, he also earned a Bachelor’s degree in philosophy. A fortepiano specialist, he incorporates a deep knowledge of the original context of each work into his performances. Huvé is a pioneer in the rediscovery of nineteenth century keyboards and their expressive possibilities; he sees these instruments as a means to affirm the values of the Romantic tradition of piano performance that his mentors passed on to him.

For many years, Cyril Huvé taught at the Paris Conservatory as an assistant to the great French pedagogue Gérard Frémy. Huvé has been featured in numerous festivals and as a soloist with orchestras such as the Staatskapelle Dresden and The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with Roger Norrington. He has developed, while he was studying at the Paris Conservatory, a serie on performance practice for Radio-France from their archival recordings (les Vieilles Cires). He is the artistic director of the Académie de Musique de La Chaise-Dieu, which offers courses on performance practice. Among his recordings, he was a pioneer with the Chopin’s Ballads and Scherzi on historical fortepianos for EMI, recorded Liszt’s complete Songs with five singers, among which Ernst Haefliger, Brahms and Ligeti Horn Trios, quintets with the Hausmusik group, leaded by Monica Huggett, and plays chamber music with such partners as Les Folies Françoises’s leader, Patrick Cohen-Akénine, and the solo violin of the Minnesota Orchestra, Jorja Fleezanis, with whom he has recorded the ten Beethoven sonatas for fortepiano and violin (Cyprès).

DuoAnthemisVolet5_1jpg

The duo Anthemis was born in 2017 out of an irresistible need for chamber music on the part of its two protagonists, both originally from Nancy. One, a concert pianist and professor at the Metz Conservatory, the other, the principal clarinetist of the National Orchestra of Metz Grand-Est. These kindred spirits recognized each other behind the scenes and in the antechambers of the beautiful concert halls where they have had the privilege of performing regularly. For six years now, they have tirelessly explored the most beautiful pages of French, English, American, and German chamber music in order to offer them to you generously in concerts and recordings, without artifice, like a beautiful bouquet of freshly picked wildflowers.

Duo Gagey-Bleton

Eléonore and Guillaume met while in high school. They crossed paths again several years later, and their musical connection was evident. They then embarked on numerous concerts featuring programs of Italian, Neapolitan, and French music, and finally recorded their first album with a collection of Spanish melodies. From this album emerged a staged concert concept by Sol Espeche, exploring the idea of romance, oral tradition, and memory.

Eléonore Gagey

Mezzo-soprano Éléonore Gagey trained at the Haute École de Musique in Lausanne under Brigitte Balleys and Hiroko Kawamichi. She has performed roles such as Cherubin (Le nozze di Figaro, Mozart) at the Saint-Étienne Opera, Carmen (Carmen, Reine du cirque) at the Avignon Opera, Cillene and La Difficoltà in a work by Carlo Pallavicino in Potsdam and Beaune with Les Talens Lyriques (conducted by C. Rousset), Rosine (Il barbiere di Siviglia, Rossini) and Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni) at the Théâtre de Montereau, Carmen (Bizet) in South Korea, Clotilde (Norma, Bellini) at the Lausanne Opera, and as solo alto in Verdi’s Requiem in Lausanne. During the 23-24 season, she performed the role of Aristeo in L’Orfeo by Sartorio with the Artaserse ensemble under the direction of Philippe Jaroussky, touring with the Arcal company in France. Éléonore also has a strong affinity for chamber music and regularly performs in recitals with pianist Martin Jollet or guitarist Guillaume Bleton. She was the third-place winner in Opera at the International Competition of Marmande and is a recipient of the Royaumont Foundation scholarship.

Guillaume Bleton

Guitarist, composer, and arranger Guillaume Bleton began his musical journey with rock and jazz, but it was at the conservatory that he developed a passion for classical music, interpretation, and composition. He studied guitar, writing, analysis, orchestration, and music history at conservatories in Paris. He then obtained his diploma with honors from the Pôle Supérieur de Lille, followed by pedagogical training at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, where he earned his Certificate of Aptitude.

As a concert performer, he frequently collaborates in chamber music settings with flute (Duo Lazare, Duo Tallet-Bleton), voice (Duo Gagey-Bleton), violin (Duo Inao with Florian Perret), and cello (Duo Nouhaud-Bleton). He has recently performed alongside soprano Nadine Sierra, pianist Thomas Enhco, violinist Jordan Victoria, and accordionist Félicien Brut. As an arranger for numerous concert projects, he initially developed his composition skills through collaborations with dance. Associated with the Les Orpailleurs company since 2009, he has worked with them on multiple occasions as an instrumental and electro-acoustic composer, performer, and improviser. Returning to his early influences, he composes and performs with his progressive rock duo PRIISM. These diverse styles infuse his instrumental music inspired by Ligeti or Dutilleux, both in language and in the exploration of timbres and textures, as heard in Le Bateau ivre, premiered in July 2022 by the Cordissime quintet, or in Mémoires de Nuit, premiered in March 2024 by Duo Inao. In addition to his performing and composing career, Guillaume teaches guitar at the CRR de Créteil.
