“My Life with Bach”, “Mozart and Salieri”, “Vivaldi”, “Clara, between Schumann and Brahms”, “Farinelli and the Mad King”, “The Cursed Son”: These are some of the titles of the concert shows in which I play (depending on the case and location) with other musicians and actors on the organ or piano and which are a great success every time.
Reaching out to the audience with notes and words, that’s what fascinates me.
I also like concerts with several people, where you can exchange ideas and feel the joy of making music together.

About me
I received two “Premier Prix de Virtuosité”: piano in 1991 and organ in 1993, as well as the prize of the Migros Scholarship Competition in Zurich.
I was fortunate to work with the following teachers: Jean-François Vaucher and Robert Schwitzgebel (organ), and Hubert Harry, Christian Favre and Daniel Spiegelberg (piano).
I play several instruments in the canton of Vaud: Saint-Étienne de Moudon, Broye in Prilly, Les Croisettes in Epalinges; I am also founder and president of the “Amis de l’Orgue de Moudon”, president of the Vaud section of the AOR (Association des Organistes Romands) and co-president of the AOR in French-speaking Switzerland.
Numerous radio and recordings bear witness to the passion that drives me.
1999: Orgues de Moudon; 2004: Sonates d’Eglise by Mozart; 2009: His own transcriptions for organ of three monuments: Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Bach’s Chaconne and Liszt’s Totentanz, played on the great organ of St-François in Lausanne; 2014: Bach à Moudon, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the oldest organ builder in the canton.
As part of my concert activity, I perform both on piano and organ in recitals, chamber music and song formations, as well as in concert shows with actors;
I also accompany numerous choirs conducted by Véronique Carrot, Pascal Mayer, Phillppe Huttenlocher, John Duxbury, Yves Bugnon, Christophe Gesseney, Marc Bochud, Michel Cavin…. And I am also active within the framework of “Cantate et Parole” in Lausanne.
As organist, pianist or on the celesta, in the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne and in various USDAM orchestras, I have played under conductors such as Armin Jordan, Jesus Lopez Cobos, or Jerzy Semkow.
