Sylvain Gaulhiac

Sylvain commence l’étude du piano à l’âge de 7 ans. La découverte assez tôt de Debussy et Ravel forge en lui une passion intime pour la musique française qui s’élargira ensuite vers de vastes horizons, telle la musique russe, et notamment Scriabine dont Sylvain est un fervent défenseur. Après un DEM de piano, Sylvain poursuit assidûment la pratique de la musique, sans négliger sa passion pour la littérature et la poésie. Son exigence esthétique l‘oriente également vers les mathématiques. Élève normalien à l’École Normale Supérieure et agrégé de mathématiques, Sylvain poursuit une thèse de géométrie algébrique consacrée à des questions de géométrie anabélienne dans les espaces de Berkovich.
