Sévère is quickly gaining attention as a musician to watch.
He started playing the clarinet at age eight, making his first solo appearance at age 11 with the Macao Youth Symphony Orchestra for the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birthday.
At age 12, the young musician won five international competitions including first prize and four special prizes at the Japan Clarinet Society competition in Tokyo.
At age 14, he obtained a master’s degree with high honors at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, and is the youngest French artist to be nominated as “Solo instrumental discovery” by Victoires de la Musique Classique.
More recently, the clarinetist has won a number of prizes, including: First Prize and eight special prizes at the competition of Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York, Prize-winner of Safran Foundation, Prize-winner of Banque Populaire Foundation, artist-in-residence at Singer-Polignac Foundation, and his Brahms CD was awarded Diapason d’Or of the year.
He continues to perform with a number of international tours and chamber orchestras.
Paul Montag, who will accompany Sévère, has played the piano since age four.
He has studied with Christian Ivaldi and Chantal Debuchy at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, where he continues to participate in Master Classes.
Montag performs with a number of internationally renowned conductors and solo artists.
