Sandrine Piau

Lyric singer Sandrine Piau (b. 1965) began her soprano career in Baroque music with conductor William Christie, performing Handel(Serse, Rodrigo) and Rameau(Les Indes Galantes). After several operatic and sacred works, she turned to classical music, particularly Mozart's Mitridate and The Magic Flute, followed by Debussy's mélodies. Winner of the Prix Ravel in 2002, Sandrine Piau has given a series of recitals dedicated to 20th-century French melodies in Evocation (2007), to the glory of Handel in Between Heaven and Earth (2009) and back to the Baroque in Le Triomphe de L'Amour (2012). In 2014, the lyric singer collaborated with the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra for the recital Mozart: Desperate Heroines.
