Fascinated by Italian music of the early 17th century, and after studying recorder, analysis and music history, Judith Pacquier very quickly devoted herself to her favourite instrument: the cornet à bouquin. She followed the teaching of William Dongois and Jean-Pierre Canihac, whose class she joined at the CNSMD in Lyon to obtain her DNESM in 2001. In 2008, she co-founded the ensemble Les Traversées Baroques with Etienne Meyer and acts as Direction Artistique.
