Founded in 2005 by cellist Ophélie Gaillard, the Pulcinella ensemble is celebrating two decades of baroque adventures and collective spirit. This fall, it presents a “Baroque Battle” combining baroque dance and contemporary urban dance.

Led by its founder on the cello rather than by a conductor at the podium, the ensemble is driven by a strong team spirit. Pulcinella has continued to surprise audiences for twenty years. Born around Vivaldi’s Sonatas, Ophélie Gaillard‘s ensemble has traveled through Europe’s Baroque cities via its programs—from Venice to London, Naples to Brussels—weaving a constant link between heritage and creation. Through recordings, collaborations with contemporary composers such as Philippe Hersant, outreach projects at the Necker Hospital in Paris, and regular support for the younger generation, Pulcinella seeks to embody a form of resistance in the face of the current fragility of the musical world.
