Yseult Kervyn

Yseult Kervyn studied cello at the Royal Conservatory of Liège. The teachings of Jean-Pol Zanutel and Jeanne Maisonhaute encouraged her to explore the new languages of contemporary music through repertoires for solo cello or chamber music, for which she also benefited from the guidance of François Deppe. Alongside this course, she was introduced to the baroque cello by Julius Stenzel and Bernard Woltèche.

Driven by a desire to place her musical practice in its 21st-century context, Yseult Kervyn trained in performance and stage creation. She then initiated several collective and interdisciplinary creations in which dance, theatre and graphic arts intermingle, with music becoming the subject or object of the narrative.

Yseult Kervyn has always been very interested in exchange and transmission, dividing her time between her musical practice and teaching in all its forms (workshops, schools, conservatories and academies). She has therefore developed a practice of cultural mediation that has led her to work in a variety of settings (museums, classroom workshops, etc.).

Placing her musical practice at the intersection of disciplines, Yseult Kervyn has embarked on a journey of rigorous artistic research and developed a methodology for researching and managing interdisciplinary projects, which now leads her to support students in their final year research projects. Yseult Kervyn is also an academic advisor at the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles.
