Biography

French recorder player, Ingrid Boyer, brings a versatile and creative personality to the musical world, as well as a sound quality imbued with historical and technical knowledge.

She began her musical career with Pierre Boragno at the CRR de Versailles after being selected for the double curriculum at the Lycée La Bruyère. She thus obtained her DEM prize in musical studies and her literary baccalaureate with honors. She studied musicology at the Sorbonne Paris IV, opera singing with Isabelle Guillaud at the Conservatoire du 7e in Paris, and the course in interpretation of ancient and contemporary musical worlds in Versailles. Selected by the Bern University of the Arts, she studied with Michael Form, then at the Schola Cantorum Basilensis with Conrad Steinmann where she obtained her Bachelor and Master degrees.

Her concert projects are both in various prestigious churches in Paris (St Eustache church, St Placide…), in numerous theaters (Théâtre du Châtelet, Montansier, Ranelag theater…), festivals, but also in museums (Musée de l’Evolution, Musée du Quai Branly. …), in castles (Château de Versailles, Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte…) or for special events (for President François Hollande, on the occasion of the opening of the new building of the Maison de Radio France, Disneyland…). She then touches on international events at the Haarlem Philharmonic in the Netherlands, in Croatia with notably a concert for the President of Croatia, in Germany, in Switzerland (Paulus Kirche of Basel, Bern and Neuchâtel).

Passionate about chamber music and human relations, she plays in original ensembles with the Alteratio ensemble (theorbo, viola da gamba and recorder), the Benedictus ensemble (recorder duo), the Eolian Harp ensemble (flute and early harp) and as a singer at the choir of Hauts-de-Seine, the Collegium Vocale Luzern, and at the Schola de la Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. She also plays double bass in a Christian orchestra in Alsace and in a jazz ensemble.
