AUTO-BIOGRAPHY
After studying baroque music & recorders (Bach, Vivaldi, Ann Danikan Philidor, Telemann,Haendel, etc ...), I studied the medieval fiddle and rebec at the Centre de Musique Médiévale in Paris, as well as medieval singing.I’ve been a member of two medieval ensembles: we performed Guillaume de Machaut, Adam de la Halle, the Cantigas de Santa Maria, the music at the Court of the Dukes of Burgundy, etc ... I worked a lot on Irish singing at the Irish Association of Paris as well as the set-dancing. I practice traditional French dances (bourrées, waltzes, mazurkas, rondeus of Gascogne, etc …)& bagpipe from bourbonnais. Now and for 25 years, I have been composing for children and adults.I often arrange and record traditional Irish songs I love.I wrote & go on writing a lot of harp music, "classical » music.
