Christophe Robert

Artistic Director & Co-founder

Violinist and musicologist, Christophe Robert is a professor at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP).

He is particularly interested in the interpretation on historical instruments, which he practices within the main baroque music ensembles (Arts Florissants-W.Christie, Talens Lyriques-C.Rousset, Musica Antiqua Köln-R.Goebel, Musiciens du Louvre-M.Minkowski...), but also romantic music ensembles (Chambre Philharmonique-E.Krivine, Dresdner Festpielorchester...).

Considering research and transmission as essential in musical interpretation, he taught at the Metz Regional Conservatory before joining the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP). He brings together all of his teaching, practice, and research experiences in a doctoral thesis at the Brussels Conservatory.
