A concert soloist, chamber musician, teacher, and researcher, Vincent Lhermet pursues a brilliant international career in which early music, contemporary creation, and improvisation engage in constant dialogue. Curious and eager for encounters, he collaborates with major composers such as Franck Bedrossian, Bernard Cavanna, Francesco Filidei, Philippe Hersant, Philippe Leroux, and Gérard Pesson, as well as with dancers, stage directors, poets, anthropologists, and linguists.
Passionate about early music, he performs with Alice Piérot, Le Poème Harmonique, Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, and Marianne Muller (les inAttendus), while studying basso continuo with Frédéric Michel.
A guest soloist with leading ensembles—including L’Itinéraire (of which he has been a member since 2022), Cepromusic, 2E2M, the Orchestre National d’Auvergne, Les Siècles, and the OSUG—he has performed under the direction of Pierre Bleuse, Roberto Forés-Veses, Léo Margue, Mathieu Romano, François-Xavier Roth, and Pierre-André Valade, in prestigious venues such as the Philharmonie de Paris, the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam, the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, and the Helsinki Music Centre.
Invited to numerous international festivals (Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo, Musica Nova Helsinki, Festival Messiaen, Festival d’Automne, SWR Schwetzingen Festspiele, Cervantino, Présences Radio France, among others), he has shared the stage with Gérard Caussé, Vincent Dumestre, Isabelle Druet, François Lazarevitch, Tommaso Lonquich or Julia Pusker. A laureate of many foundations and international competitions, he has recorded around a dozen albums for Alpha, Harmonia Mundi, and NEOS, all widely acclaimed by critics.
A graduate of the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMDP), and Paris-Sorbonne University, and the first accordionist in France to hold a doctorate in performance, he is a professor at the CNSMD de Paris and at the CRR de Boulogne-Billancourt, where he helps train a new generation of concert performers. Several of his students have won first prizes at the world’s leading international competitions.
