Dame Sterenn

After graduating from Caen conservatory of Music, where she obtained a first prize in piano, chamber music and composition at the age of 17, and then from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris, where she followed an advanced programme in academic studies and composition, Sterenn, finally realised that her true passion was classical singing, and that she wanted to express herself with her voice. In Paris, she studied first with Nicole Fallien and Anne-Marguerite Werster, and then with Laure Florentin, Monique Zanetti and J.Louis Deveze at Aix-en-Provence conservatory, where she graduated in 2015. On stage, she was "Pauline" in Offenbach's La Vie Parisienne, "Sangaride" in Atys by Lully, at the Greek National Opera in Athens, "Anna Duyret" in L'Expérience, a contemporary opera, at the Théâtre du Rond-Point in Paris, "Bastienne" in Mozart's early opera Bastien and Bastienne, and the "first witch" in Didon and Enea by Purcell. Sterenn also regulary performs as a soloist in Oratorios : Cantatas, Christmas Oratorio by J.S.

Dame Camille

She began her music studies on the oboe with Éric Mège at the Nice Conservatory in 1999. She sang in several children's operas, studied singing with Pierre Capelle and was awarded a top level distinction at the end of her early studies. In September 2009 she was admitted to the Lyon Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et Danse (CNSMD), where she studied oboe with Jean-Louis Capezzali and Jérôme Guichard. In 2012 she was appointed principal oboist of the Orchestre des Pays de Savoie, conducted by Nicolas Chalvin and completed her oboe studies, obtaining a master's diploma, also with first class honours. Meanwhile her love of singing had grown even stronger and by this time she had already joined the early music department of the Lyon CNSMD to study singing with Marie-Claude Vallin. This course naturally focused on the repertoire of the medieval, Renaissance and baroque periods. She was awarded a bachelor's diploma in early music singing in June 2015, again with first class honours, and decided to focus exclusively on singing. Camille Joutard sings with Les Voix Animées, an ensemble conducted by Luc Coadou, Capella Sanctae Crucis, conducted by Tiago Simas Freire and Alkymia, conducted by Mariana Delgadillo-Espinoza.

Dame Laurence

Laurence tient à peine debout qu’elle pianote déjà sur le clavier de ses grands frère et sœur. Dotée d’une oreille supersonique, elle rejoue inlassablement du bout de ses petits doigts ses comptines favorites, les génériques de ses émissions télévisées préférées, et les grands airs de la musique classique qu’elle découvre avec émerveillement. Totalement accroc à son 33 tours Le Soulier qui vole, la petite Laurence rêve de décoller elle aussi au pays de la chanson pour enfants, à l’instar de son étoile Marie-Rose ! C’est ainsi qu’elle se lance, après quelques années de piano et de chant au Conservatoire, dans l’univers du spectacle jeune public, en créant le rôle d’une héroïne pétillante et aventurière, tout en participant activement à la conception et à la production de spectacles musicaux (paroles des chansons, costumes, décors, supports de communication...). Après ce premier voyage intersidéral, elle se découvre une nouvelle passion, le chant en chœur, et se perfectionne dans la polyphonie Renaissance aux côtés de Luc Coadou, avec qui elle crée Les Voix Animées en 2009. Ensemble, ils se lancent à la quête de l’harmonie absolue, et repoussent les limites de la réalité en voyageant, grâce à leurs web-séries, à travers le temps et l’espace…
