Salomé Gasselin was named among the Revelations at the Victoires de la Musique Classique. The 30-year-old musician founded the viola da gamba class at the Pierre Barbizet conservatory in Marseille.

Her first album, released by Mirare last year, was “well received by people who are not used to going to concerts,” says the young woman, big smile and long brown hair. On stage, she enjoys playing Henry Purasies, the 17th century composers and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
