ABOUT THE ARTIST...
Nolwenn Collet is a French pianist, composer and producer of music for ballet class.
Her style reflects her love for expressive melodies, and her work explores the links between music, movement, nature and emotions.
In 2014, her album of music for pre-ballet class “Les Petits”, got international recognition following an article in American Dance Teacher Magazine and her albums of music for ballet class started to sell internationally.
Classically trained in Paris Conservatoires, of which the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, Nolwenn Collet has the ability to write and perform music in a rich variety of styles including her own !
Nolwenn grew up in a family of music teachers and her childhood years spent on a Pacific island, {New-Caledonia}, nourished a strong link with nature and a keen and constant interest in other cultures : At the heart of each of her albums, there is the desire to help us establish connections: with others, with our artistic heritage, with ourselves and with nature: an invitation to take a journey, sometimes, cultural, imaginary, personal, yet universal.
Her deep understanding of the relationship between music and dance, combined with her ability to create music for ballet class that reflects the physical challenges and artistic sensitivities of particular cohorts, be they very young children, adolescent dancers or pre-professional elites, make her work stand out.
