BIOGRAPHY
Laurence Equilbey
Conductor
In complete osmosis with her musicians... Equilbey’s precise gestures
enhance the melodic intensity, amplified by sharp cueing and an
obsessive pulse.
ResMusica
Conductor and musical director of Insula orchestra and accentus, Laurence Equilbey is acknowledged for her
demanding, yet open-minded approach to her art. Her exploration of the symphonic repertory has seen her
conducting the orchestras of Lyon, Bucharest, Warsaw, Café Zimmermann, Brussels Philharmonic, Akademie
für alte Musik Berlin, Concerto Köln, Camerata Salzburg, Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, the philharmonic
orchestras of Liège, Leipzig, Francfort, etc.
She has recently conducted Britten’s Albert Herring (at the Opéra de Rouen Haute-Normandie and the Opéra
Comique), Weber’s Der Freischütz (Opéra de Toulon), Sous apparence (Opéra de Paris) and Reynaldo Hahn’s
Ciboulette (Opéra comique).
She regularly conducts the Orchestra of the Opéra de Rouen Haute-Normandie (Mendelssohn’s Athalie in 2015).
Since 2009, she has been working with accentus as an associate artist of the Paris Chamber Orchestra and will
be joining up with them again in 2015 for Reynaldo Hahn's Ciboulette at the Opéra Comique and Dvořák's
Stabat Mater at the Philharmonie de Paris. She is also an associate artist of the Grand Théâtre de Provence in
Aix-en-Provence and a companion of the Cité de la musique/Philharmonie de Paris.
In 2012, with support from the Conseil général des Hauts-de-Seine, she founded Insula orchestra, an ensemble
devoted to the classical and pre-Romantic repertory, using period instruments. The 2014-2015 season will
feature the orchestra’s maiden appearance outside France as part of the annual Mozartwoche in Salzburg, as
well as the release of its first recording, Mozart’s Requiem (naïve).
With accentus, Laurence Equilbey continues to focus on the great vocal music repertoire, while also supporting
contemporary creation. The extensive recorded work of accentus on the naïve label has received wide critical
acclaim. She is also Artistic Director and Director of Education at the Department for Young Singers at the Paris
Conservatory.
Laurence Equilbey has studied music in Paris, Vienna and London, and conducting, notably with Eric Ericson,
Denise Ham, Colin Metters and Jorma Panula.
