Passionate about the many facets of percussion, Julien Pellegrini explores contemporary creation, improvisation, chamber music, early music, and the symphonic repertoire. He works with Proxima Centauri and performs regularly with the Orchestre National de Bordeaux Aquitaine, the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ensemble Sillages, and the orchestras of Lyon, Rennes, and Limoges, among others. Since 2016, his involvement with Ensemble Alkymia has led him to regularly combine early music with sound experimentation, while also developing his skills in electroacoustic music (programming and sound processing). He recently took part in the recording of Robert Pascal’s album Aubes and in the premiere of his latest work, Herbes Rases.
Julien Pellegrini holds degrees in percussion and chamber music from the CNSMD de Lyon. After obtaining his teaching certificate (CA) in 2017, he taught at the Conservatoire de Rennes until 2022. He is currently Professor of Percussion at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux Jacques Thibaud.
