Young French percussionist Adélaïde Ferrière has won several international prizes and performed in
festivals and concert halls worldwide. Adélaïde remembers being inspired as a child watching her
timpanist father. Now, she’s inspiring a new generation of percussionists with her solo marimba and
ensemble performances.
Adélaïde specialises in transposing classical repertoire for solo marimba and making gorgeous video
performances, including Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, which she performed on a rooftop in New
York. She talks about joining the Paris Conservatoire at just 15 years old, explores her use of media,
and discusses the unique challenges of tuned percussion.
