Marie-Laure BOUILLON
Holder of a first prize and the Concert License from the Ecole Normale de Paris in Dominique ETIEVANT's class, she also studied with James GALWAY, Michel DEBOST and Michel MORAGUES.
​
"Ms. Bouillon was a revelation in this class, she demonstrated superior musical intelligence, as well as a rare will, energy and ability to work. Furthermore, I was able to observe her great flexibility and her instinct for ensemble playing when I worked with her in an orchestra".
Dominique ETIEVANT
Flûtiste concertiste international
Ex-Flûte Solo de l'Orchestre de Nancy
1er Prix concours internationaux de Trieste et Los Angeles
Lauréat des Fondations Menuhin et Cziffra
​
If chamber music is her passion, she is also fond of jazz, and also performs as a soloist with various orchestras, notably under the direction of Jêrome NAULAIS.
​
"I have to say that I was surprised by the musicality, the sonority, the sensitivity and the solidity of this young flautist".
Jérôme NAULAIS
Compositeur
Trombone Solo de l'Orchestre Intercontemporain
​
Since 2018, she has been playing a flute made by the American luthier Chris Abell.
Benoit ROULLAND
After having brilliantly obtained a first prize of Superior with congratulations and his prize of Excellence,he distinguished himself internationally at the Giuliani competition in Bari, Italy and at the René Bartoli international competition, which he won.
His masters are Roberto AUSSEL and Alvaro PIERRI.
His full, round and powerful sound, his musicality and his immense sensitivity make him an outstanding soloist: "you will have to get used to success", they predict.
The only guitarist selected for the Maurice Ravel International Academy in 1993 and the Musicades de Lyon in 1995,he thus rubs shoulders with the greatest masters of chamber music.
He makes many arrangements for the duo, whose exceptional character is unanimously acclaimed.

He has been playing since 2023 on a 7-string cedar guitar by Russian luthier Vladimir Druzhinin
