Biography
“Estelle Revaz is a sincere and profound musician endowed with great musical curiosity.” — Gautier Capuçon
Curious: Always in search of original programs, she is equally interested in the great masterpieces of the repertoire and in contemporary works, as demonstrated by her regular collaborations with composers of our time.
Insightful: Her discography, acclaimed by the international press, bears witness to this quality. Its programs are always the result of careful reflection, juxtaposing tradition and modernity (Bach & Friends), highlighting the music of her homeland, Switzerland (Cantique, Journey to Geneva), or creating connections between composers (Fugato, Inspiration populaire).
Dynamic: With her natural charisma, she delights audiences and international media alike, as evidenced by her appearances on Radio France, Deutschlandfunk, WDR3, Swiss Radio and Television (RTS), RTBF, and TV5 Monde.
Committed: During the COVID-19 pandemic, she worked tirelessly to demonstrate the essential role of culture in society and to convey the concerns of cultural professionals to political decision-makers.
Passionate about chamber music, Estelle Revaz performs regularly throughout Europe, Asia, and South America. She is invited to prestigious festivals such as the Gstaad Menuhin Festival, Verbier Festival, Le Septembre Musical, Festival International de Colmar, and Festival Pablo Casals, collaborating with distinguished musicians including Renaud Capuçon, Gautier Capuçon, Christian Chamorel, Finghin Collins, Shani Diluka, François-Frédéric Guy, François Killian, Hannes Minnaar, Cédric Pescia, Andrey Baranov, Alexandra Conunova, Lena Neudauer, Pierre Génisson, Ralph Manno, and the Quatuor Sine Nomine.
After beginning her musical studies in Switzerland, she continued her training in France at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris under Xavier Gagnepain and Jérôme Pernoo, and later in Germany at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln with Maria Kliegel.
