Pernelle Marzorati began playing the violin at the age of 5. In 2009, she joined the harp class at the CRD in Le Mans with Evelyne Cabaret, and discovered early music at the CRR in Tours, where she began studying the repertoires of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque on period instruments with Angélique Mauillon.

Fascinated by these historic instruments, at the age of 17 she entered the early harp class at the CNSMD in Lyon, where she obtained a master’s degree in 2022. At the same time, Pernelle is perfecting her skills on the modern harp with Christophe Truant at the CRR in Lyon. She also took an interest in classical and pre-romantic repertoires and instruments, and in 2020 went to Milan to study with harpist Mara Galassi at the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado. During her years of study at various conservatoires, Pernelle Marzorati has been able to take a full course in writing, a subject in which she has invested a great deal of time and effort, and in addition to her work as a harpist, she also arranges music for various ensembles.

The importance she attaches to teaching and transmission has led her to devote herself to several educational and cultural projects within different structures (Menus Plaisirs at the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles in 2021, educational activities and concerts at the Centre Culturel de Rencontre d’Ambronay in 2018, Les Concerts promenades at the Cité de la Musique in 2017).

She also performs with various early music ensembles (Le Concert d’Astrée, La Nébuleuse, l’Ensemble Près de votre oreille, Les Lunaisiens, Les Kapsber’girls…). She also teaches early harp at the CRR in Besançon.
