Cyrille Bonnard - After gaining two prizes at Paris Conservatoires, Cyrille decided to carry on his studies with Steven Mead at the Royal Northern College of Music. With a postgraduate diploma in his pocket, Cyrille decided to stay in England and to start a freelance career. For euphonium players, the opportunities to play in orchestra are rare and Cyrille has therefore adopted a diverse approach to his music making. Before coming to England, he studied jazz with Denis Badault, Marc Steckar, François Thuillier and also played with a French pop band called “Alaf Lamout?”.
