Emmanuelle Haïm is a renowned French conductor and harpsichordist with a passion for Baroque music, particularly the works of Handel, Rameau, and Monteverdi. She originally trained as a pianist before shifting her focus to early music, studying under influential figures like William Christie. After gaining recognition as a continuo player and conductor, she founded her own ensemble, Le Concert d’Astrée, in 2000, which quickly became a respected group in the historically informed performance scene.
Haïm is especially celebrated for her dynamic interpretations and expressive conducting style, often bringing a theatrical flair to sacred and operatic Baroque repertoire. She has led major productions at venues like the Opéra de Paris and Glyndebourne, and worked with globally recognized orchestras including the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Her recordings, frequently centered around Handel, have earned critical acclaim and helped reignite interest in Baroque vocal music among modern audiences.
