Grégoire Blanc is a young French musician, known for his work involving the theremin – this very unusual musical instrument invented in the 1920s by the brilliant Russian scientist, Лев Термен.
His musical journey began with the cello as he was 5 years old, and he never stopped developing his musicianship since then. The revelation came during a physics lesson in high school : the theremin was mentioned as the very first electronic musical instrument in history, which immediately raised his curiosity. Determined to learn how to play, he started on his own and published a few videos over the web after having acquired a good level. Meeting other classical theremin players and taking part into various ensembles as a chamber musician was the clue to rapid progress.
With its characteristic sound and its astonishing expressivity, the theremin has a huge potential, from classical music to contemporary creations, film soundtracks, etc. Grégoire Blanc is renowned as a promising artist, and is regularly invited to perform in various contexts : orchestral performances, classical concerts, lectures, studio recordings, all around the world, from Canada to Kazakhstan.
