Jean-Christophe
Groffe
Voice (bass)
Roots
I was born in Normandy, lived in Paris and now live in Basel: from the sea to the foothills of the Alps.
Study
First I studied guitar and musicology in Normandy, then in Paris – and finally singing, pedagogy and ensemble music at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.
Professional
I doubt, I ask questions, I search.
Why
I chose polyphony because there is nothing more exciting than working with others in many voices.
Elective Affinities
“The Limits to Growth” (in a finite world), dramatically topical, necessary, as tragic as it is hopeful. I find the book incredibly beautiful, poetic and intelligent.
