Julie Jozwiak

Après des études en lettres et musicologie ainsi qu’un master d’école de commerce, Julie Jozwiak s’est consacrée à la production de concerts classiques. Elle est harpiste, choriste et violoniste, mais se définit surtout comme mélomane passionnée, et affectionne aussi beaucoup la danse classique qu’elle a longtemps pratiquée. Son amour inconditionnel du spectacle vivant l’incite à se rendre quasi quotidiennement au concert, à l’opéra, au ballet, au théâtre… ou à tout autre type de performance scénique.
