Camille Grimaud

Jeune chanteuse lyrique passionnée de littérature, Camille décide d'unir ses deux amours en écrivant sa joie de la musique. Ancienne étudiante de lettres modernes, la soprano n'a de cesse de convoquer les lettres au service de son art. Complémentarité et éclectisme seraient ses maîtres mots.
