♪　G?RARD POULET VIOLIN　♪

G?rard Poulet started as a child prodigy. His father, the violinist and conductor Gaston Poulet had the privilege of giving the first performance of Debussy’s Sonata in 1917, with the author at the piano. G?rard entered the Conservatoire National Sup?rieur in Paris at the age of eleven, and left the following two years with a unanimously awarded first prize. Aged eighteen, he carried off the first prize at the Paganini Competition in Genoa.

As he continued to benefit from the teaching of such masters as Zino Francescatti, Yehudi Menuhin, Nathan Milstein and especially Henryk Szeryng, who considered him his “spiritual heir”, numerous concerts were to follow, and his career developed rapidly worldwide: from Europe to Asia, form America to Africa, where he plays today regularly with the finest orchestras, while he takes part in the most prestigious musical seasons, including those of Radio France, the Mus?e d’Orsay.

No less than an eminent concert player, he is one of greatest pedagogues of our time. After he taught for 25 years at the “Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris”, “Conservatoire National de R?gion de Paris” and the “Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris”, G?rard Poulet was a visiting professor at the “Tokyo University of Arts” (Tokyo Geidai) from April 2005 to March 2009.　

Currently, he is a visiting professor at the “Showa University of Music” in Japan.

Besides giving master classes all over the world, he is also a member on the juries of major international competitions.

He was decorated with the “Officier des Arts et Lettres” in 1995, and the “Officier National de M?rite” in 1999.
