Blandine Pouré
A pianist, harpsichordist and teacher, Blandine Pouré has spent more than twenty years developing an artistic career based on a close connection between performance, creation and teaching.
She also composes for documentaries and various artistic projects, situating her practice within a creative approach that engages in dialogue with the visual arts and other artistic forms.
A successful candidate in the Professeur d’Enseignement Artistique (PEA) competition, she obtained three master’s degrees at Laval University (Quebec) — in piano performance, harpsichord performance and instrumental pedagogy — which inform both her artistic practice and her pedagogical thinking.
Her career is now focused on research, with plans for a doctoral project at the University of Montreal.
Her dual practice of piano and harpsichord gives her a broad understanding of the repertoires, informed by a constant attention to the styles and languages specific to each era.
She taught for eleven years at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional du Grand Avignon, before joining the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Départemental de Digne-les-Bains et Manosque in 2018. There, she has developed a teaching approach centred on musical autonomy, understanding of the works and artistic rigour.
Her commitment to teaching is reflected in the progress of her students, who regularly receive awards in competitions, exams and public performances.
At the same time, she has been building a career as a concert performer. She creates recital-style performances in collaboration with actors, writing the scripts herself to highlight a composer and their musical world.
Together with the singer Stéphanie Laye, she founded the duo Les Passeuses d’Art, which presents performances combining musical interpretation and artistic outreach.
She first developed a series of concerts centred on Schumann (cello and piano), then on Beethoven (violin, piano and actor), and is now continuing this approach with a recital dedicated to Chopin in collaboration with the actor Grégoire Aubert.
Her practice of the piano and harpsichord is accompanied by an openness to other musical worlds, notably jazz, singing and the oboe, which enrich her vision of performance.
Her current reflections focus on the connections between the piano and the harpsichord, at the crossroads of performance, teaching and research.
She champions a vision of music where artistic rigour is combined with meaning, sharing and transmission.
