Biography 2019

"I believe that an essential part of our life is to learn to communicate and that music offers a wide range of tools to do it with passion and beauty."

Salomé graduated in Université de Paris-Sorbonnes and Université de Poitiers for Musicology, Modern Violin Interpretation, and Pedagogy in 2013 and earned a Masters degree with distinction in 2015 at the Royal Academy of Music in Modern and Historical Performance.

Constantly seeking for new approaches and musical horizons, she has played a wild variety of repertoires - from early baroque operas to contemporary Indian music, or classical repertoire to pop-rock and has been enriched by each and every single new adventures. 

She discovered orchestra repertoire at the age of 15 in the festival of Saintes where she played in the Jeune Orchestre Atlantique with Philippe Herreweghe for 10 years and the Jeune Orchestre Hector Berlioz with François-Xavier Roth. Since she moved to the UK in 2013, she has been playing with Rachel Podger (Brecon Baroque), Bojan Cicik  (Instruments of Time and Truth) and Nicolette Moonen (Bach Players) for early repertoires and has been on the deputy list of the London Symphonic Orchestra since 2017. She was recently part of a new social venture conducted by Nicolas Simon in Paris - the Philharmonicoeur, orchestra created for social justice.

She enjoys Opera above all and has been invited to lead and play in different ensembles across Europe: Helios Collective (Uk), London Early Opera, Westminster Opera Company (Uk, France), Apotheosis and the International Opera Academy (Belgium), Instante Collective (Uk), Il Gardellino (Netherland) and the London Choral Sinfonia (Uk). 

She is involved in smaller Strings’ groups such as the Camerata Alma Viva (Switzerland), exploring mindfulness in music;  or the Longbows collective (Uk) led by Peter Shepperd-Skaeverd.

She has been part of recent recordings with the London Early Opera (Handel’s Queens, Signum), the Longbow Collective (new commissions, Divine Arts recordings), Instante Collective (Little Things in Odd Shapes, NovAntiqua Records) and has been touring for the promotion of the acclaimed B-Side album recorded by the Camerata Alma Viva (NoMadMusic) and premiered the Pygmalion's with the Apotheosis Orchestra (Ramée) at the MA Bruges Festival.

Salomé has always felt the need to give back what she has discovered for herself and has always dedicated a portion of her time for the generations to come. She is a very dedicated teacher and is currently teaching in two very different set up : the Guildhall School of Music and Drama Junior department in London and the Dragon School in Oxford. 

The projects to come for the 2019-2020 season include Masterclasses and Coaching in Antwerp Conservatoire, an Italian Album with The 1750 Project (Belgium), a solo/dance collaboration (Finland/Uk) and the development of her own pedagogy approach. As part of the Global Leaders Programme 2020 Cohort, she has been working with an NGO on Easter Island (Toki Escuéla de Musica), and is working towards presenting Latino-American music across the Americas.

Salomé plays a Jean and Nicolas Colin violin made in 1843 and a copy of a 1659 Amati made by Marc Soubeyran.
