About the conductor Emmanuelle Haim

Emmanuelle Haïm began her piano studies with Yvonne Lefébure and continued by studying the organ with André Isoir. Her instrument of choice, however, is the harpsichord, which she studied with Kenneth Gilbert and Christophe Rousset while also studying musical style and figured bass. A gifted musician, she was awarded five first prizes at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris. Her love of the human voice led her to concentrate on vocal coaching, first at the Baroque music centre of the Studio Versailles-Opéra and then at the CNSM in Paris, where she has coached singers in the Baroque repertoire. Among the many distinguished singers who have invited her to accompany them in recital are Cecilia Bartoli, Natalie Dessay, Patricia Petibon and Sandrine Piau. Emmanuelle Haïm very quickly developed a regular activity as continuo player and musical assistant in a number of opera houses, where she was able to acquire a unique knowledge of the Baroque and Classical repertoire. She has appeared at the most famous theatres alongside such artists as William Christie, Sir Simon Rattle and Daniel Harding. In 2000 she gathered together a group of singers and instrumentalists who shared not only a great musical experience and a love of the human voice, but also a common temperament and stylistic approach which is both expressive and natural. This has her own Baroque music ensemble, Le Concert d’Astrée, which she has directed for three years to great acclaim, performing at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, the Barbican Centre in London, and at numerous Festivals in France and abroad with Ian Bostridge, Patrizia Ciofi, Susan Graham, Sara Mingardo, Laurent Naouri, to mention but a few. Emmanuelle appears regularly as a guest conductor. She is frequently invited to conduct the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and her striking success with Glyndebourne’s Rodelinda was followed by an equally acclaimed Theodora in 2003 and a repeat of Rodelinda in 2004. She conducted Handel’s Giulio Cesare for Glyndebourne in the summer of 2006.
