Florentin Ginot is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of his art, not only as a remarkable soloist and a leading interpreter of contemporary music, but also in pioneering collaborations with artists across genres and disciplines.<\/p>

Praised as \u201ccharismatic\u201d (Le Figaro), a \u201cbreathtaking virtuoso\u201d (Diapason) and \u201ca name to remember\u201d (Le Monde), the double bassist has established himself both as a soloist and with Ensemble Musikfabrik, of which he has been a member since 2015.<\/p>

He has established a new repertoire for his instrument through close collaborations with composers such as Georges Aperghis, Gy\u00f6rgy Kurt\u00e1g, Rebecca Saunders and Helmut Lachenmann. He has appeared as a soloist at venues including the Berlin Philharmonie, K\u00f6lner Philharmonie, Cit\u00e9 de la Musique in Paris and L\u2019Auditori Barcelona as well as part of the Berliner Festspiele, Festival Pr\u00e9sences and Manifeste Festival in Paris, Festival Musica in Strasbourg, Sacrum Profanum in Krak\u00f3w, Ultima Oslo and La Biennale di Venezia.<\/p>

Since 2019, Florentin Ginot has instigated a series of collaborations with artists from diverse traditions to look beyond genre boundaries and create hybrid projects between contemporary music, electronic music and world traditions including producer Helge Sten aka Deathprod, composer Stefan Prins, Palestinian songwriter Kamilya Jubran and actress Val\u00e9rie Dr\u00e9ville.<\/p>

With his first solo album, Bach - Biber<\/em>, released in 2022 on NoMadMusic, Florentin Ginot brings his unique genre-busting perspective to classics of baroque repertoire, arranging solos and sonatas by Bach and Biber for double bass and synthesizer. France Musique praised the album as \u201cabsolutely stunning\u201d, adding that \u201chis adaptation of Bach\u2019s chaconne for violin leaves us speechless\u201d.<\/p>

The 2023-24 season includes his solo debut at the Philharmonie de Paris, with a live presentation of his Bach - Biber <\/em>project, as well as performances at Jazzdor Strasbourg and the Festival St-Denis. He will present the world premiere of a new solo piece by Clara Iannotta in Florence and Cologne, as well as appearing in duo with electric guitarist Yaron Deutsch.<\/p>

Increasingly active as a multi-instrumentalist and composer, Florentin Ginot will also present his compositional debut Disturbance<\/em>, combining modular analogue synthesizers with traditional instruments. The full-length work will be developed during a residency at the AIR programme in Krems, Austria and premiered in March 2024 at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Cit\u00e9 internationale in Paris. From 2023-2025 he will be associate composer at the National Choreographic Centre of Caen.<\/p>

Florentin Ginot graduated from the Conservatoire National Sup\u00e9rieur de Paris, and was a Laureate of the Banque Populaire Foundation and M\u00e9c\u00e9nat Musical Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale. In 2020 he was named \\\"Music revelation of the year\\\" by the Arts Journalists Syndicate.
