Sylvain Blassel is a harpist and conductor. Very early in his career, his position as Pierre Boulez’s assistant with the Ensemble InterContemporain led to many formative experiences: working for example with György Kurtag, György Ligeti, Brian Ferneyhough, and Helmut Lachenmann.
Keen to expand the repertoire available to him as a harpist, Sylvain Blassel has come to specialise in the virtuoso adaptation of music hitherto undreamt-of on the harp. He performs not simply transcriptions of digestible solos, but giants of the piano and orchestra repertoire.
Our 2021 concert agenda is off to a fascinating start! Sylvain Blassel – true to form – performs Haydn’s Sonata n° 60 Hob.XVI.50, and Beethoven’s Six Bagatelles, op.126.

Constance Luzzati specialises in expanding the harp repertoire in two very different ways: through contemporary premiers, and the transcription of early music. She obtained her doctorate in performance from the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMDP) and the Sorbonne, focusing on 18th century French harpsichord repertoire. It is this very repertoire that we will enjoy during her performance of January 14th!
