A graduate of both the Paris Conservatoire (CRR) and the Royal Academy of London, Rozenn Le Trionnaire is gaining recognition on both sides of the Channel. Previously associate principal clarinet in Ostinato Orchestra, she is now regularly invited to play with orchestras including the Philharmonic Orchestra of Maghreb, Orchestre Colonne, Ensemble Nouvelles Portées, Ensemble Le Balcon and the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra. She has also worked with acclaimed conductors Pierre Boulez, Péter Eötvös, Semyon Bychkov, Jac van Steen and Susanna Mälkki.
Rozenn was featured as a soloist in performances conducted by Heinz Holier and Kaspar Zehnder and has also performed Kristof Maratka’s clarinet concerto with the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra. She has recorded chamber versions of Mahler’s Symphony No 4 and Debussy’s “Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune” under the baton of Trevor Pinnock (released by Linn Records).
In addition to her involvement with orchestras, Rozenn is a devoted chamber musician.

She has since been invited to play at the Lucerne Festival, Kings Place Festival in London, La Folle Journée in Nantes and Podium

In 2011 she was invited to perform Pierre Boulez’s _Domaines _for solo clarinet at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and “Dialogue de l’Ombre Double” in Paris IRCAM. She was hailed a ‘prodigiously gifted young clarinetist’ (The Times) showing ‘dynamic and fascinating’ playing (MusicalCriticism.com [1]). Rozenn was also invited to perform a live
broadcast of Olivier Messiaen’s Abîme des Oiseaux on France Musique, and Steve Reich’s New York Counterpoint in Belgium, England and France. She has worked with composers including Philippe Manoury, Michael Jarrell, Michael Levinas and Karol Beffa.
