Gaétan Jarry

Gaétan Jarry is a French conductor, organist, and harpsichordist who specializes in bringing Baroque music to life with vibrant energy. As the artistic director of Ensemble Marguerite Louise, he’s become known for his fresh interpretations of French composers like Charpentier, Rameau, and Lully, often digging into lesser-known works with scholarly care and theatrical flair. His recordings, ranging from Handel’s *Chandos Anthems* to Mozart’s *Bastien et Bastienne*, showcase his knack for balancing historical precision with emotional warmth.

Jarry also collaborates with major ensembles like Les Arts Florissants and frequently performs on period instruments, whether conducting choral masterpieces or showcasing his virtuosity on the organ. His projects, like *Dis-moi Vénus... L'amour sous Louis XV* or the coronation-themed *The Crown*, reveal his love for storytelling through music, bridging centuries-old compositions with modern audiences. A champion of French musical heritage, he’s become a go-to name for listeners craving Baroque revival done with both brains and heart.
