Virtuoso cellist Noémi Boutin has always been driven by a passion for musical creation and the pursuit of new adventures, at the crossroads of contemporary music, theatre, vocal composition and narrative forms. Between classical recital and mythological reverie, she takes us on a solo journey built around two major landmarks of the cello repertoire: the Suites by Bach and Britten. With delicacy, lyricism and rare elegance, she shares with us the inner life of the soloist, inviting us to move beyond the traditional image of an instrument so close to the human voice. Magnificent.

BIOGRAPHY
> NOÉMIE BOUTIN (France)
Born in 1983, Noémi Boutin began playing the cello at the Conservatoire national de région in Lyon. A precocious talent, she entered the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris at the age of fourteen and was awarded a premier prix in Roland Pidoux’s class. Winner of numerous prestigious competitions in France and abroad, she performs as a soloist with a wide range of ensembles and appears at major international stages and festivals. Alongside this, she has continued to pursue her vocation as a chamber musician with the Trio Boutin, Trio Cérès and Trio Béla. Widely recognised for her commitment to contemporary music, she designs bold musical programmes that incorporate singular artistic adventures with circus artists, actors and jazz musicians. After a first solo recording devoted to Benjamin Britten’s Suites (2017), she released Ricoche in 2025. With her company Frotter Frapper, founded in 2015, Noémi Boutin is associate artist at Malraux, scène nationale Chambéry Savoie, and at Théâtre de La Renaissance-Oullins, Lyon Métropole.
