Biography

Piérot studied music at the Conservatoire de Lyon. In 1988, she turned to baroque music and became concertmaster of Marc Minkowski's orchestra, Les Musiciens du Louvre[1] and recorded operas by Rameau, Mondonville and Marais... (issued by Erato).

She also makes recordings with Jean-Patrice Brosse's ensemble Concerto Rococo, for the Pierre Verany label (Schobert) and Florence Malgoire's Les Nièces de Rameau (CPE Bach, Rameau, Purcell).

As chamber musician, she participates as a guest in the Amarillis ensemblme (Rameau, Antoine Dauvergne) and founds and directs Les Veilleurs de nuit; She is also a member of the Anpapié string trio (with Fanny Paccoud, viola and Elena Andreyev, cello) since its foundation in 2002 and plays in duet with the piano-fortist Aline Zylberajch.[1]

In 2002, she recorded Heinrich Biber's Rosary Sonatas for the Alpha label, a disc which won a Diapason d'or of the year 2003.

In 2004, she entered as first violin in Hervé Niquet's Consert spirituel ensemble and is a soloist at Le Parlement de Musique directed by Martin Gester.

Piérot teaches the Baroque violin and an orchestra class at the Aix-en-Provence conservatory.[1] Béatrice Linon is one of her pupils.[2]
