“A graduate of Yale University and the Conservatoire National Sup\u00e9rieur de Musique de Paris, Fran\u00e7ois Salque began winning prizes in the leading international competitions (Geneva, Tchaikovsky, Munich, Rostropovich, Leonard Rose) at a very early age. \u2018The sensitivity and nobility of his playing\u2019 combined with \u2018exceptional charisma and virtuosity\u2019 (Pierre Boulez) enabled him to win no fewer than ten first prizes and the same number of special prizes.
\nHis concert career has already taken him to more than seventy countries, and his solo and chamber recordings in the company of Paul Meyer, Emmanuel Pahud, \u00c9ric Le Sage and Alexandre Tharaud have been widely acclaimed by the press (Diapason d\u2019Or of the Year, Choc du Monde de la Musique, 10 de R\u00e9pertoire, Prix de l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie Charles Cros, Victoire de la Musique, BBC Music Magazine Choice etc.).<\/p>\n
Fran\u00e7ois Salque also made seven well-reviewed discs with the Quatuor Ysa\u00ffe, whose cellist he was for five years. His commitment to the music of our time has earned him many dedications from contemporary composers, among them Thierry Escaich, Karol Beffa, Jean-Baptiste Robin, Nicolas Bacri, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Zygel, Jean- Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Neuburger, Kry\u0161tof Ma\u0159atka and Bruno Mantovani.<\/p>\n
He has also devised numerous creative programmes combining contemporary inspirations and traditional music, and has recorded two extremely original duo albums with the jazz accordionist Vincent Peirani.
\nHis profound musicality, his technical qualities and his eclecticism have made him a key personality in the world of music.<\/p>\n
