Héloïse Luzzati is a French cellist dedicated to bringing forgotten female composers to light in the history of music. She began playing the cello at the age of 5 with Christophe Combes at the Le Mans Conservatory. She then joined the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris – CNR in 2002 in Marcel Bardon’s class, where she earned a first prize in 2006. That same year, she was admitted to the Royal College of Music in London and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris in the class of Roland Pidoux and Xavier Phillips.

A passionate chamber music enthusiast, Héloïse Luzzati studied with the Ysaye Quartet at the CNR in Paris and with Marc Coppey at the CNSM. She has also participated in masterclasses with renowned chamber musicians such as Peter Cropper, Hatto Bayerle, and Alain Planès. She has had the opportunity to perform with renowned partners such as Alexandre Tharaud, Edna Stern, Ferenc Vizi, Julian Steckel, Roland Pidoux and Graf Mourja.

In addition to her performing career, Héloïse Luzzati is committed to the research and promotion of forgotten women composers. She founded the association “La Cité des Compositrices,” which aims to restore visibility to the works of female composers. She created an online Festival, “Un Temps pour Elles,” which celebrates masterpieces by female composers of all nationalities and eras.

Héloïse Luzzati also launched a YouTube channel, “La Boîte à Pépites,” which features discovery videos about female composers, as well as a record label of the same name. She released her first triple-disc album dedicated to the composer Charlotte Sohy in 2022. She has also published monographs on composers such as Rita Strohl, Jeanne Leleu, and Charlotte Sohy. Convinced that the absence of women in current musical programming is due to an underrepresentation in heritage, Héloïse Luzzati has made it her mission to “bring to light” these talented female composers. She scours libraries and collaborates with volunteers to find and preserve the scores of their forgotten works.
