Valérie Philippin
soprano

Valérie Philippin is a soprano committed to contemporary music, renowned for her mastery of contemporary and experimental repertoires. For over thirty years, she has collaborated with composers such as Georges Aperghis, Bernard Cavanna, Jean-Yves Bosseur, Jacques Rebotier and François Rossé, creating works as a soloist or with ensembles such as l'Itinéraire, Multilatérale, 2e2m and Les Métaboles. Her vocal work is based on in-depth research into language, improvisation, phonemes and the physicality of sound. She explores the links between writing and orality, between the sung voice and the spoken voice, at the crossroads of stage, sound poetry and performance. An active pedagogue, she teaches contemporary voice at several conservatories and academies in France and abroad, and leads projects combining transmission, creation and vocal innovation.
