About Cyprien

The Swiss-French cellist Cyprien Lengagne is invited by prestigious festivals such as the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, Crans-Montana Classics or the Pablo Casals Festival in Prades. Passionate about contemporary music, he played in ensembles such as the Ensemble Intercontemporain, the Ensemble Modern, and the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra. He won the 4th prize and the "Elżbieta & Krzysztof Penderecki Special Prize" at the 4th International Krzysztof Penderecki Cello Competition in 2023. He received the support from the Friedl-Wald scholarship and the Fondation Safran. After studying with Xavier Phillips at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne, he joined the International Menuhin Music Academy (IMMA) in Switzerland in the class of Clemens Hagen and Lionel Cottet. He joined in 2024 the Académie Jaroussky. In parallel with the interpretation, he develops his activity as a composer. We can especially mention the creation of his quartet "De l'infini des noms" at the Salle Cortot in Paris by the Akilone quartet, or more recently his piece for string orchestra "Le souffle de l'aurore" by the Menuhin Academy Soloists. He won in September 2024 the prize Fonds Jacques Cerf, allowing his first orchestra piece “Éclipses” to be played by the Lausanne Sinfonietta and the orchestra of the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne under the baton of Ruth Reinhardt.
