Garance Boizot

Born in Paris, in a family of musicians, Garance Boizot began the viola da gamba and the cello at the age of seven. The knowledge of both instruments gave her the opportunity to play in various formations as in orchestra, string quartet, gamba consort, and a lot of chamber music. Over the years, she benefited from the teaching and the guidance of multiple musicians such as Christine Plubeau in the conservatory of Paris ; Olivier Schneebeli for concerts in the Royal Chapel of Versailles ; Wieland Kuijken for masterclasses, Paolo Pandolfo and Juan Manuel Quintana during courses. She took part of several orchestra and group of chamber music such as ‘Koechel 440’, ‘La Banda Ariosa’ or ‘World Opera Lab’ for which she shared the stage with a dancer and a story- teller. She is now a regular member of ‘Le Voci delle Grazie’, an ensemble focusing on Italian vocal music of the 16th and 17th Century.
