Claire
Piganiol
Harp, recorder and Organetto
Roots
I grew up near Paris.
Study
First I studied at the conservatory and university in Strasbourg, later at the Schola Cantorum in Basel.
Professional
As an artist I work together with the ensembles Le Miroir de Musique, Gilles Binchois, Akadêmia, Le Parlement de Musique or Kesselberg, among others. Besides my work as a course lecturer in Spain and Italy, I teach medieval harps at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.
Why
History and music were options for me to study. I chose music because I couldn’t imagine doing anything else!
Hobbies
I like to read travelogues or books that tell about the lifestyle of very different peoples.
