Lucile Boulanger is a French viola da gamba virtuoso who has made a significant mark in the world of early music with her profound interpretations and impeccable technique. Born into a family with a rich musical lineage, Boulanger developed an affinity for the expressive possibilities of her chosen instrument from a very young age. She trained at the Paris Conservatoire, where she honed her craft with an intense focus on the baroque repertoire.

Boulanger's discography reflects her deep exploration of the baroque era, with a particular emphasis on the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries. Her album "Bach & Abel: Solo" showcases her solo prowess, while her collaboration in "Telemann: Trio Sonatas for Recorder and Viola da Gamba" illustrates her remarkable chamber music skills. Lucile's dedication to rediscovering and performing the music of lesser-known composers like Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, as heard in "Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe et ses filles," further establishes her as a key figure in bringing the rich textures of Baroque music to contemporary audiences. Other notable projects such as "Les Défis de Monsieur Forqueray," "C.P.E. Bach & Hesse: Trios for Fortepiano & Viola da Gamba," and her interpretations of Bach's works for flute and harpsichord highlight the versatility and breadth of her musical interests. Lucile Boulanger continues to enchant audiences around the world with her emotive performances and scholarly approach to music-making.
