Duo des Embruns

The Duo des Embruns was born out of a meeting between Claire Augier de Lajallet (harp) and Déborah Broggia (flute), who share an interest in flute and harp. Their work focuses on a repertoire revolving around the theme of travel.

Déborah Broggia, flute

Born in Belfort, she obtained her Diplôme d'Etudes Musicales at the CNR in Besançon, then her Diplôme de Perfectionnement at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg in the class of Sandrine François (soloist with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg), alongside a degree in Musicology. She then went on to perfect her skills in the Paris region, obtaining a Diplôme de Perfectionnement in flute at the Conservatoire de Bourg-la-Reine, and in piccolo at the CRD de Clamart in Pierre Dumail's class (soloist with the Paris Opéra). She frequently performs with professional orchestras (Orchestre Symphonique de Mulhouse, Opéra du Rhin, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, among others). A holder of the Diplôme d'Etat de professeur de flûte traversière, she teaches in several establishments in Alsace and Franche-Comté. A keen chamber musician, she has previously performed with a flute quartet, as well as with piano and harp. With Claire Augier de Lajallet, she has just founded the Duo des Embruns, whose main theme is travel.

Duo Maragda

When the vibrant virtuosity of the violin meets the ethereal poetry of the harp... Combining the warm, expressive sound of bowed strings with the shimmering resonance of the harp, violinist Audrey Irles and harpist Claire Augier de Lajallet invite audiences on a deeply moving musical journey. An elegant and timeless musical experience, full of refinement and emotion, that speaks to listeners of all ages and backgrounds. A programme of creation and reinvention. At the heart of this concert are beautiful original works written specifically for violin and harp, including pieces by Luigi Maurizio Tedeschi. The duo also presents a selection of original arrangements, breathing new life into beloved masterpieces. Together, they reimagine iconic works by Claude Debussy, Astor Piazzolla, and Béla Bartók, offering fresh and captivating interpretations of some of the classical repertoire's most treasured pages.

Audrey Irles, violin

Audrey Irles began studying the violin at the age of seven at the Perpignan Regional Conservatory. Coming from a family of music lovers, she developed a rich artistic background through interdisciplinary experiences throughout her education. In 2013, after earning her Diplôme d'Études Musicales (DEM), she began her orchestral training with the Perpignan String Orchestra and the Perpignan Méditerranée Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Daniel Tosi. Alongside her law studies at the University of Perpignan Via Domitia, she confirmed her passion for music and decided in 2015 to devote herself entirely to professional musical studies. After obtaining both the Diplôme National Supérieur Professionnel de Musicien (DNSPM) in June 2019 and the Diplôme d'État (DE) in June 2020 at the Institut Supérieur des Arts et du Design de Toulouse (isdaT), she continued her education by enrolling in a Master's degree in Orchestral Performance at Musikene in San Sebastián, where she studied until June 2021. Through this master's programme, she immersed herself in the symphony orchestras of Bilbao and San Sebastián, strengthening both her passion for orchestral performance and her appreciation of the symphonic repertoire. In 2022, Audrey officially launched her professional career across Europe, performing with a variety of leading symphony orchestras. Her career then took her to Italy, where, following a competitive audition, she joined the roster of extra violinists of the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano "La Verdi". In November 2022, she took part in her first international tour with the orchestra, performing at prestigious venues including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and L'Auditori in Barcelona. She has since continued to win orchestral auditions, allowing her to perform regularly as an extra violinist with the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse (her principal employer), the Euskadi Orchestra, and the Marseille Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of renowned conductors such as Michele Spotti, Kazuki Yamada, and Tarmo Peltokoski.
