Marianne Piketty

Marianne Piketty is a French violinist and conductor celebrated for her vibrant interpretations of Baroque and classical repertoire, often infused with fresh energy through inventive arrangements. As the artistic director of Le Concert de l’Hostel Dieu, she blends historical performance practices with modern creativity, spotlighting works by composers like Vivaldi, Bach, and lesser-known gems from the Bohemian tradition. Her recent projects, including collaborations with arranger Olivier Fourés, reimagine iconic pieces—such as Vivaldi’s *Laetatus sum* or Bach’s concerto transcriptions—for string ensembles, giving them a crisp, contemporary edge.

Piketty’s discography reflects her eclectic curiosity, spanning from fiery Baroque concertos (*Vivaldi, l’âge d’or*) to 20th-century works like Martin’s *Polyptyque*. Albums like *Bohemia* and *Les Saisons* showcase her knack for thematic storytelling, weaving together composers like Janáček and Suk with atmospheric flair. Whether leading her ensemble or diving into intimate chamber music, Piketty’s playing radiates warmth and precision, making her a standout voice in today’s early music revival scene.
