Maël Bailly
musician, composer

Maël Bailly's path to musical creation began with the practice of improvised music. Originally a violinist, he switched to the viola in Gilles Deliège's class at the Tours Conservatoire, and discovered the contemporary repertoire. He went on to win a Prix de perfectionnement, as well as a DEM in composition and chamber music. A decisive meeting with Alessandro Solbiati opened the way to composition. The following year, he was accepted into Gérard Pesson's composition class at the Paris Conservatoire in the 20th and 21st centuries. He took part in the Voix Nouvelles de Royaumont academy in 2016. In addition to composing, he performs and records as a violist, notably with the Medvedkine quartet (contemporary ciné-concert), the Padam quartet (classical repertoire and chanson de rue) and on the improvised music scene, where he works with Joëlle Léandre, Alexandros Markéas, Vincent Le Quang and Dominique Piffarelli. His music has been performed by the Divertimento ensemble, the MDI ensemble and the Athamar quartet.
