Isabelle Durin

After studying at the Regional Conservatory of Versailles in the class of Alexandre Brussilovsky, Isabelle Durin graduated from the National Conservatory of Lyon in the class of Jean Estournet and Kazimierz Olechowski. She pursued a chamber music course at the National Conservatory of Paris in the classes of Alain Meunier and Michel Strauss. Her musical career has grown in parallel with another university course and more specifically a D.E.A. (Master 2) in philosophy at the Sorbonne University which has been a source of enrichment for her.
Likewise, her attachment and taste for the symphonic repertoire led her to join the Orchestre Nationale d’Île-de-France and to perform at the Philharmonie de Paris. In addition to her numerous activities as a performer, she extends her passion as artistic director of the festival “Les Harmonies Estivales” and now the festival of the Château de la Motte – Tilly.
With the pianist Michaël Ertzscheid, Isabelle Durin released two CDs, Romantisme hébraïque in 2008 (Jade/Universal) and Mémoire et Cinéma (Paraty/Pias) in 2018, both hailed by the press, which allowed her to go to meet a varied audience during numerous concerts in France and abroad, notably at the Museum of Art and History of Judaism, at the Shoah Memorial, at the Ranelagh Theater in Paris, at the Portuguese Synagogue from Amsterdam, to London, Cambridge (Fitzwilliam Museum), Oxford (Queen’s College), to Miami, to Romania (Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara and lasi), during a tour in China, to the Holocaust Memorial Center in Budapest… She collaborated with Alain Duault during the Radio Classique cruise for several recitals. Her latest album Un Violon dans l’Histoire was released last November on NoMadMusic/Collection Solo by Orchestre national d’Île de France. She recently performed in Tel Aviv with actor Francis Huster and in China for a cross-country tour with Maxime Zecchini.
