The French-born violiniss, Chouchane Siranossian, was born to an Armenian family. Her father is a well-known expert in Armenian music. From a very young age, she was familiar with the sound of the violin. And the world-famous, was her first teacher. She began studying the violin with the Hungarian-born world-famous violinist and conductor, Tibor Varga, in Sion (1991-1992). Then she was admitted at the age of 15 to Pavel Vernikov’s class at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon. In 2002, she began training with Zakhar Bron at the ZHdK Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (2002-2007), and obtained her soloist’s diploma with the highest honours in 2007. Shortly afterwards she became concertmaster of the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen (Switzerland), where she remained until her decisive encounter with Reinhard Goebel. She then devoted herself intensely to the study of early music with him at the Salzburg Mozarteum (2010-2013) and regularly worked with him as a soloist.
Chouchane Siranossian is one of the leading virtuosos on the international Baroque scene today, both as a soloist and alongside many prestigious orchestras. Her mastery of the instrument, nourished by her musical research and her exemplary experience, has made her a highly sought-after musician of marked individuality. When she is not on stage or researching, she devotes herself to her passion for mountaineering and ski touring. She also participates in the creation of new works, collaborating with such composers as Daniel Schnyder, Marc-André Dalbavie, Michael Rosin, Bechara El-Khoury, Eric Tanguy, Benjamin Attahir and Thomas Demenga.
Chouchane Siranossian performs as a soloist on both modern and Baroque violin, with partners including Kristian Bezuidenhout, Bertrand Chamayou, Andrea Marcon, Leonardo García-Alarcón, Daniel Ottensamer, Thomas Demenga, Jos van Immerseel, Christophe Coin, Václav Luks, Andreas Spering, Rudolf Lutz, Alexis Kossenko, Thomas Hengelbrock and François-Xavier Roth. She is leader of the Esperanza ensemble, founded in Liechtenstein in 2015, which was awarded an Opus Classic award in 2018 and with which she regularly tours.
Her first solo album, "Time Reflexion", was awarded a ‘Diapason Découverte’ in 2015. Her recording of the Felix Mendelssohn's Concerto with Anima Eterna Brugge (In Time) and the CD "L'Ange et le Diable" in duo with Jos van Immerseell both received numerous prizes, including two ICMA (International Classical Music Awards, in 2017 and 2019). Her latest solo recording was released in March 2020: Tartini's concertos with Venice Baroque Orchestra and Andrea Marcon. For this album she received the ‘Preis der Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik’ in March 2020.
