DINTERPRETATION ET CONCERTS 2009

Michel STRAUSS, cello

100 years ago, Edouard Maury, a clergyman, built a farm in Villefavard, devoted to modern agriculture. In 1947, his daughter, Juliette Ebersolt, created Villefavard spiritual concerts around the Cavaill-Coll organ of the temple. A tradition was born. To continue this tradition, a new concert hall was inaugurated in 2002, in the barn of the farm. It is the first element of the actual Villefavard artistic meeting center (Centre de Rencontres Artistiques de Villefavard). Its aim is to offer to very high level artists a place to work, to share in a very peaceful country place and to offer to the public the result of this meetings. At the age of 14, he enters the Conservatoire de Paris, where he will win his first prizes in chamber music and cello under the guidance of Paul Tortelier and Maurice Gendron. He then pursues his studies in the United States at Yale University with Aldo Parisot. In 1980 he is appointed principal cello solo of the Nouvel Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. In 1987 he takes over the class of Maurice Gendron at the Conservatoire de Paris. Considered as one of the most accomplished French musicians of his generation, he has worked with some of the most important contemporary music creators such as Luciano Berio, Maurice Bjart or Pierre Boulez and the legendary Sandor Vegh. Michel Strauss is the artistic director of the Normandy chamber music festival Musique de chamber Giverny.
