OCL definitively appoints De Forceville as concertmaster
French violinist Clémence De Forceville has been appointed first concertmaster of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne (OCL) following her probationary period.
De Forceville studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris with Olivier Charlier, where she has been teaching as an assistant to Philippe Graffin since 2021, and continued her studies in Germany with Antje Weithaas and Mihaela Martin. She plays a violin by Lorenzo Storioni from 1777, on loan from the Boubo-Music Foundation. She will take up her post in Lausanne definitively in March 2024.
Founded in 1942 by Victor Desarzens, the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne (OCL) is now led by French violinist Renaud Capuçon after six years under the artistic direction of American conductor Joshua Weilerstein. It consists of around 40 musicians and has a repertoire ranging from early Baroque to contemporary works.
