Sophie Chauvenet

Sophie Chauvenet started playing cello in Reims, France, with Marc-Didier Thirault. She later studied at the Paris National Superior Conservatory (CNSMDP) with Philippe Muller, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, and Marc Coppey. Laureate of the Maurice Gendron and Rampal competitions, she quickly decided to focus on her orchestral career, which led her to work with some of the world’s biggest conductors such as E.P. Salonen, P. Jordan, C. Eschenbach, V. Gergiev, M. Janoski, S. Osawa, M-W Chung, P. Jarvi, M. Franck, and G. Dudamel, to name a few. In addition to her orchestral position with the Orchestra de la Garde Républicaine (Paris), Sophie is an active chamber musician and a member of the four-celli quatuor serioso celli, the Voltaire Trio and Ensemble 1904.
