Josephine Plagnol

Joséphine Plagnol's passion for the harp was revealed in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt when she was six. She immediately fell for the elegance of its anatomy, the beauty of its harmonies and the unique motions that the performance require, and soon set her sights on becoming a professional musician.

​

Determined to make her dream come true, she enrolled in an intensive music programme (CHAM) at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Boulogne-Billancourt, where she was taught by Anne Ricquebourg. From 2020, she continued her musical training at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, where she studied with Isabelle Moretti, a leading figures on the harp.

​

Joséphine has enriched her musical career by working with the Orchestre Colonne and the Orchestre de Mulhouse, as well as performing at the Gargilesse Harp Festival, the Rencontres Internationales de Harpe en Île-de-France and the Instrumentarium.

​

She has won prizes from the Meyer Foundation, the Martine Géliot competition, Collegium21 and Suoni d'Arpa. Her musical education has also been enriched by the teaching of Gabriella Dall'Olio, Letizia Belmondo, Frédérique Cambreling, Sylvain Blassel and Isabelle Perrin.

​

Joséphine is eager to learn and open-minded, she explores all repertoires with passion and constantly strives to broaden her artistic horizons, and aspires to share the richness and diverseness of the harp with an ever-wider audience.
