Lucile Boulanger

Popular in early music circles, Lucile Boulanger plays viola da gamba as a soloist and with many period ensembles. Boulanger has also been active as a voice-over actress. Top prizes, including a first-place showing at the Concours International Bach-Abel in 2009, helped her launch her career. In 2012, she made her recording debut, joining frequent duet partner Arnaud de Pasquale on an album of Bach's sonatas for viola da gamba and keyboard. She collaborated with well-established Baroque chamber groups, including Les Talens Lyriques and the Ricercar Consort, and with larger ensembles such as Raphaël Pichon's Pygmalion. In addition to the music of the Baroque, Boulanger has a strong commitment to contemporary music and has commissioned new works from various composers. In 2022, she issued Solo: Bach-Abel, featuring music by Bach and Carl Friedrich Abel.
