Raphael Froissart was born in Paris in 1998. He started the clarinet at the age of 9 at the Conservatoire Gustave Charpentier. In 2009 he entered the Conservatoire Regional de Paris where he studied until his Diplôme d’Etudes Musicales in 2017. He is now finishing his studies at the Royal College of Music. Passionate about chamber music groups, he performs there every summer and has the chance to explore a variety of repertoire in a wonderful acoustic and fascinating setting. This year he will have the opportunity to play with the English National Opera in several performances thanks to a scheme in partnership with the Royal College of Music.
