About

Jean-Marc Aymes is a French harpsichordist, organist and pedagogue born in 1961. Biography: Seduced from his youth by Baroque and Renaissance music, but also by the contemporary repertoire, he began studying harpsichord and organ in Toulouse. He continued his studies in Brussels and The Hague. He spent much of his life in the region of Toulouse, before moving to the South-East of France, in Lyon and Marseille, the city where he currently resides. Until 2009, he exercised he's activity of harpsichordist at numerous concerts throughout the world and among the most famous festivals of early music. The pedagogy came then first with his appointment as professor of harpsichord at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse (CNSMD) of Lyon, after two years as Director of the Centre régional d'Art baroque of Marseille. Carreer: Jean-Marc Aymes is regularly called upon to perform with early music ensembles: Akadémia, Daedalus Ensemble Clément Janequin, Les Talens Lyriques. Together with the Argentine soprano Maria Cristina Kiehr, he founded the "Concerto Soave", specialized in the Italian music of the XVIIth century. The musicological approach of Jean-Marc Aymes, common to many musicians specialized in the Baroque repertoire, results from a close collaboration with researchers. The opening of Jean-Marc Aymes to the contemporary music, a relative rarity amongst the great performers of early music, is reflected by his active participation to the professional life of current composers, including acceptance of dedications and by creating several solo works for harpsichord, and also collaborations with "Musicatreize" directed by Roland Hayrabedian.
