Raphaële Kennedy
soprano

Raphaële Kennedy is a soloist and polyphonist who devotes her artistic life to the interpretation of early music and the creation of contemporary works, with the same demand to draw out the palpitation of meaning and the same desire to give a taste of it in order to transmit the emotion.
First recognized with Jordi Savall, François Lazarevitch and the Musiciens de Saint-Julien, Jean-Marc Aymes and Concerto soave, Guido Balestracci and l'Amoroso, Jean Tubéry and La Fenice, within A Sei Voci, the European ensemble William Byrd, the Paladins, the Poème Harmonique, the Demoiselles de Saint-Cyr?
She is now also a reference in contemporary creation, dedicatee of many works and working closely with composers Kaija Saariaho, Jean-Baptiste Barrière, Robert Pascal, Pierre-Adrien Charpy, Philippe Leroux, Mauro Lanza, Gianvincenzo Cresta, Matteo Franceschini, Ben Foskett, Laurent Cuniot as well as with electroacousticians Loïse Bulot and Bertrand Wolff.
A specialist in recitals for solo voice and electronics, she is also a regular guest artist with the ensembles TM+ (conducted by Laurent Cuniot), Multilatérale and Les Métaboles (conducted by Léo Warynski), Ars Nova (conducted by Benoît Sitzia) and Regards. She was a permanent member of the Solistes XXI (conducted by Rachid Safir).
She is the artistic director of Da Pacem, a company invested in early music, contemporary creation and dialogue of cultures, founded with the composer Pierre-Adrien Charpy, whose members and partners have become over time her companions. It is within this framework - from duos to small ensembles and multidisciplinary or multimedia performances - that she freely bases her work on sensuality, theatricality and rhetoric. She thus favors the incarnated transparency of the voice, the accuracy of style, the brilliance that emerges from the angle of the word and the declamatory gesture that makes music the amplification of the word.
She has made some forty recordings, including those of Da Pacem unanimously acclaimed by the critics.
In 2016, she founded with the composer Pierre-Adrien Charpy and the video photographer Isabelle Françaix the musical and visual collection Avec of the Cypres label.
