We are honoured to have piano accompanist, Elise Breon from the Conservatoire Nationale de Perpignan. There she studied Piano with Dominique Taouss and Denis Pascal where she graduated with several premier prix from that institution. She, however, pursued a career as an accompanist, and went to study the Harpsichord and accompaniment with Laëtitia Bougnol in Montpellier and that was also where she participated in the master class of Dominique Merlet. Elise Bréon has accompanied practically all instruments and has been invited to work in many summer courses both for singers and instrumentalist.
