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.
