Alice Trocellier discovered the viola da gamba when she was six years old, before joining the CRR de Paris with flexible school hours. She was then able to make the most of her international experiences to explore the various aspects of an instrument by which she is fascinated: musicology and the Elizabethan consort at the Bristol University and the Royal Academy of Music in London, then eighteenth-century German repertoire at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. On returning to France, she appeared with ensembles such as Alia Mens, La Tempête, Le Concert Spirituel and Les Ambassadeurs, and regularly plays and records as part of Le Poème Harmonique. She has recently become a junior artist associated with the Singer-Polignac foundation as part of Théodora, an ensemble that she co-founded in 2019. Alice is keen to pass on her skills and has been appointed as a teacher at the CRR Maurice Ravel Pays Basque with effect from September 2023.
