Thibault d'Hauthuille

Partageant sa vie entre Toulouse où il exerce un métier d'accompagnement des institutions musicales (contribuant à structurer l’expérience du public, de la découverte à la fidélisation) et sa maison nichée dans les boucles du Lot où il héberge son Érard de 1898, Thibault écoute passionnément de la musique depuis plus de 40 ans. Amateur de beau son en haute fidélité, il cherche dans une quête sans fin à reproduire dans son salon la vérité sensible qu'il entend en concert.
