Biography

[edit]

Étienne Lestringant was one of the first members of the baroque ensemble Les Arts Florissants convened by William Christie in Autumn 1979. During the 1980s he was one of the pillars of this ensemble, which was then the spearhead of the baroqueux movement, alongside Agnès Mellon, Jill Feldman, Guillemette Laurens, Monique Zanetti, Dominique Visse, Michel Laplénie, Philippe Cantor, Gregory Reinhart, François Fauché, Antoine Sicot etc.

Étienne Lestringant then sang for 5 years with the "Groupe Vocal de France" and the Clemencic Consort [fr]. More recently, he founded the "Ensemble vocal Frédéric Chopin", a group of amateur singers open to students of the Frédéric Chopin Conservatory of Paris and adults from outside the community.[1]
