Aurore Bucher

Soprano

Aurore Bucher entered Maire-Claire Cottin’s voice class, from which she graduated in 2001 with a Premier Prix. She decided to continue her training within the Maîtrise de Notre-Dame de Paris. She received a diploma with honours in 2003, subsequently pursuing postgraduate training with Margreet Honig and Malcolm King. She further studied French art song with Françoise Pollet and François Le Roux at the Académie Maurice Ravel in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where she won the Prix Gérard Souzay in September 2004 and the Prix Pierre Bernac in 2006.
She has also regularly performed Baroque repertory with Il Seminario Musicale and in duo with Gérard Lesne in Händel cantatas, duetti da camera and oratorios. With the Akadêmia Ensemble (F. Lasserre) she recorded the roles of Aurora, Nisa and Euridice in La Morte di Orfeo by Landi and recreated a Hasse oratorio at the Ambronay Festival. She works with Le Poème Harmonique conducted by Vincent Dumestre for Italian music. She also sings with La Chapelle Rhénane under the baton of Benoît Haller in a repertory of German music.
