Principal Horn of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France at the age of twenty, Hervé Joulain had the very early good fortune to play under great conductors including Leonard Bernstein, Marek Janowski and Lorin Maazel. Ten years later came his brilliant promotion to a similar position in the Orchestra National de France. His career has also led him to appear in chamber music with musicians of distinction such as Paul Tortelier, Michel Dalberto and Patrick Gallois.
