Flute

After more than 35 years’ experience with the Ensemble intercontemporain, Emmanuelle Ophèle and Sophie Cherrier share an overview of the different ways in which the flute can be played, from piccolo to bass flute. Taking Edgard Varèse's scores as a starting point, the videos below offer a panorama of playing styles that seek to expand technical possibilities, deepen the use of the instrument and explore other modes of expression while respecting the intentions of composers.

Emmanuelle Ophèle

Emmanuelle Ophèle studied the flute in the classes of Jean-Pierre Chambon, Patrick Gallois and Ida Ribera. At the age of seventeen, she pursued her training with Michel Debost at the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP), where she received a First Prize for flute. She joined the Ensemble intercontemporain when she was 20 years old. Keenly interested in developing the repertoire and in new technology-based areas of expression, she soon began to play a part in new works using the most recent technology: La Partition du ciel et de l’enfer for Midi flute and Midi piano by Philippe Manoury (recorded at Adès) and …explosante fixe… for Midi flute, two flutes and instrumental ensemble by Pierre Boulez (recordedwith Deutsche Grammophon).

She also featured in the recording of Marteau sans maître (Deutsche Grammophon, 2005, conducted by the composer).

Awarded the Certificate of Aptitude for Artistic Education, she teaches at the Montreuil-sous-Bois Conservatoire and is invited to many different academies, including Aix-en-Provence, Lucerne, Suc et Sentenac, and Val d’Isère. An important part of her teaching is the exploration of a broad repertoire ranging from baroque to contemporary, jazz and improvisation.
