| The young conductor Jérémie Rhorer was named ›Discovery of the Year 2008‹ by French critics. Wherever he appears, he is praised for his theatrical sensibility, subtle musicality, and outstanding technique. Born in Paris in 1973, Rhorer studied harpsichord, theory, and composition at the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris. At a young age he assisted Marc Minkowski and William Christie. At 21 he established the contemporary music ensemble Les Musiciens de la Prée. In 2005, together with violinist Julien Chauvin, he founded Le Cercle de l'Harmonie, an orchestra which performs on period instruments and devotes itself to music of the late 18th century. The year 2008 was marked by the celebrated appearance of Rhorer and his orchestra in Aix-en-Provence, where they played Haydn's L'infedeltà delusa. During the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2008, Jérémie Rhorer received the Prix Gabriel Dussurget, which is named after the festival's founder and awarded to outstanding young Mozart interpreters.
