BIOGRAPHY JEANNE LARROUTUROU (*1991)

Jeanne Larrouturou is a French-born percussionist based in Switzerland since 2010. After completing a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in music education in Geneva, followed by a specialized Master’s in contemporary music in Basel, she has been active as a performer, creator, and organizer in a wide range of contemporary chamber music and multidisciplinary projects throughout both the French- and German-speaking regions of Switzerland.

Since 2011, she has been a member of Ensemble Batida (piano and percussion), known for its original concert-concepts developed in Geneva and performed throughout Switzerland and abroad. She is the co-founder of the trio Stop, Drop, and Roll (musical theatre, Basel) and Ensemble Caravelle (musical performances, Geneva), and joined Concept Store Quartet (contemporary creation, Basel) in 2022. Since 2019, she has co-directed the experimental sound series Fracanaüm in Lausanne with Kevin Juillerat, and in 2024 joined the programming team of the Rümlingen Festival. In 2023, she created her first object-theatre and sound performance Objets trouvés #1, and continues to develop collective and solo compositional work.

As a percussionist, she is regularly invited to take part in creative projects across Switzerland and Europe, including with Theater Basel, Eklekto (Geneva), the Munich Biennale for New Music Theatre, soyuz21 (Zurich), Opus 333 (Paris), Compagnie iF (Geneva), Alice Tanzt (Olten) among others. She has collaborated with numerous established composers such as Stefan Prins, Georges Aperghis, Martin Matalon, Vinko Globokar, Ondřej Adámek, Alexandre Babel, Jean-Pierre Drouet, Andreas Eduardo Frank, Nicolas Bolens, Arturo Corrales, Anda Kryeziu, Kevin Juillerat, Jacques Demierre, Sébastien Roux, and more.

She has led several workshops on specific topics (musical theatre, sound objects, graphic scores) for children, teenagers, and adults, and was invited to develop the “Hörminute / Minute sonore” project by the Basel-based organization Zuhören Schweiz in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

Jeanne is particularly interested in exploring the boundaries between disciplines and aesthetics, and in taking part in creative processes that emerge through encounters, between artists, and with audiences.
