For many years now, Fanny Clamagirand has been establishing herself as an artist and violinist of great distinction. Acclaimed for the elegance of her playing and interpretations that blend sensitivity, authority and freedom, she has performed at prestigious venues and festivals internationally, and as a soloist with leading orchestras including the Orchestre National de France, London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic.
Winner of the Monte-Carlo Violin Masters (2007) and the International Fritz Kreisler Competition in Vienna (2005), Clamagirand studied in Paris, London and Vienna. Her rich discography, widely rewarded by the specialist press, includes recordings of Ysaÿe’s Six Sonatas for solo violin (Nascor), Saint-Saëns’s Violin Concertos Nos. 1–3 (8.572037), a three-volume cycle of works for violin and piano with Vanya Cohen (8.572750; 8.572751; 8.574314) and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto set against Pēteris Vasks’s Distant Light (Mirare, ECO/Masur).
Clamagirand was one of the Jubilee Ambassadors of the Bärenreiter music publishing house, marking its centenary celebrations, and is artistic director of Les Classiques de la Villa Charlotte, a new international festival in France established in 2023. She plays a 1700 Matteo Goffriller violin.
