Sébastien Boin
Artistic and musical director

Sébastien Boin, born in 1984, began his musical training with classical guitar in the classes of Philippe Azoulay and Alexandre Boulanger. At the CNR de Marseille, he trained in chamber music and composition before turning resolutely towards conducting. He graduated from the Conservatoire in 2007 with a unanimous first prize in Roland Hayrabedian's conducting class.
He continued his studies by entering Musicology at the Sorbonne (Paris IV), while completing his training in several performance classes and conducting projects organized by ARIAM Île-de-France.
He is one of a new generation of conductors with a passion for musical creation, who have resolutely forged their own ensemble in their own image. In 2006, he founded the instrumental ensemble C Barré, dedicated to musical creation, with which he experiments with the dual responsibilities of artistic and musical direction. With a passion for both instrumental and vocal music, he has a dual career as orchestra and choir conductor. He has worked with the Chœur de Radio France, the Orchestre Régional d'Avignon-Provence and the Orchestre Régional de Basse Normandie. In 2016, he was invited by the Festival d'Aix to conduct Ana Sokolovic's opera Svadba during a three-year international tour. He currently teaches choral conducting at the CFMI in Aix-en-Provence and orchestral conducting at the Conservatoire de Marseille.
