Théotime Langlois de Swarte

Violonist "fiery and romantic", Théotime Langlois de Swarte is the youngest member of the Ensemble Les Arts Florissants directed by William Christie. His repertoire extends from the 17th century to contemporary creation, in a search for sincerity enriched by playing on period instruments.

In 2014 he joined the class of Michael Hentz at the National Conservatory of Music and Dance de Paris (CNSMDP) where he played solo with the Conservatoire Laureates orchestra. He is a member of two chamber music ensembles: the Trio Guermantes (trio with piano) and Le Consort (sonata trio on period instruments) with which he focuses on the interpretation of the French repertoire. His hobbies are Aikido, Horseriding and Russian Literature.
