Distinguished Faculty

Jérôme Granjon is a professor at the Paris Regional Conservatory and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon. He performs internationally across Europe, the Americas, and Asia as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral artist.

His discography includes solo and chamber repertoire, notably The Well-Tempered Clavier, recorded for Anima Records in 2021. Deeply engaged in contemporary creation and historical performance, he also collaborates in interdisciplinary projects combining music and dance.

He has collaborated with composers such as Betsy Jolas, Krystof Mařatka, and Philippe Raynaud, whose works he recorded in a monographic album released in 2019. His interest in historical instruments has led him to perform on fortepiano, presenting programs ranging from the sons of Bach to Beethoven.

Jérôme Granjon regularly gives masterclasses worldwide and previously assisted Maria João Pires in the artistic direction of the Centre Belgais for the Study of the Arts in Portugal. He currently co-directs the Festival Erard in Paris.

Oana Unc began her cello studies in Romania, her country of birth. Early on, she was noticed by the distinguished professor Alexandra Gutu, who guided her toward studies at the National Conservatory of Timisoara and later at the National University of Music in Bucharest.

Even before completing her studies, Oana Unc joined the National Radio Orchestra of Bucharest. After graduating, she was appointed assistant in the cello class at the same conservatory.

Chamber music plays an important role in her artistic life. She is a member of several ensembles, including the Schubert Quartet of Maastricht and the Botticelli Trio.

Since 1999, Oana Unc has held the position of Third Principal Cello with the Orchestre National de France, performing under the baton of renowned conductors such as Kurt Masur, Ricardo Muti, Seiji Ozawa, and Bernard Haitink.

She has been a cello professor in Ozoir-la-Ferrière since 2018 and has taught orchestral sight-reading at the École Normale de Musique de Paris since 2021.
