Biography
Biography
Born in Dugny from a family of musicians, Malgoire began her career under the leadership of her father Jean-Claude Malgoire within La Grande Écurie et la Chambre du Roy and of her teacher Sigiswald Kuijken with La Petite Bande. Since 1987, she held solo violin positions in baroque ensembles such as Philippe Herreweghe's La Chapelle Royale, Christophe Rousset's Les Talens Lyriques, and William Christie's Les Arts florissants. In 2003, she founded "Les Dominos", an ensemble with a variable membership and structure, specialising in 17th and 18th century music, which performed in Naples, Beaune, Geneva, Lille, etc. To deepen her sonata work, Malgoire co-founded Les Nièces de Rameau, an ensemble oriented towards the chamber music repertoire. Alongside her solo career, Malgoire was interested in musical direction: after radio in French-speaking Switzerland, for which she was invited to conduct Jean-Philippe Rameau's motets at the Agapé Festival, she conducted Jean-Féry Rebel, Georg Friedrich Haendel, Marc-Antoine Charpentier and Bach, but also Mozart's Requiem and Heinrich Biber. European specialist of the ancient violin, Malgoire intervened from Sablé to Tokyo while passing by the Royaumont Foundation, the Juilliard School of New York, and Rio de Janeiro. In 2000, she began teaching ancient violin and chamber music at the Conservatoire de Genève and at the Schola Cantorum de Paris until her death. Florence Malgoire died on 11 August 2023, at the age of 63.
