Laurence Equilbey

Laurence Equilbey is a groundbreaking French conductor celebrated for breathing fresh life into classical and Romantic-era repertoire. A champion of both historical authenticity and modern innovation, she founded the vocal ensemble Accentus in 1991 and the period-instrument Insula Orchestra in 2012, both acclaimed for their vibrant interpretations. Equilbey has a knack for spotlighting overlooked gems, like her recent recordings of Louise Farrenc’s symphonies, which reintroduced the 19th-century composer’s powerful works to modern audiences. Her playful yet precise approach shines in projects like *The Freischütz Project*, reimagining Weber’s opera with bold theatricality, and her Mozart recordings (hello, *Magic Mozart!*) balance elegance with infectious energy. Whether reviving forgotten masterpieces or reinventing classics, Equilbey’s work is all about making centuries-old music feel thrillingly alive.
