The ambitions of this modern recreation have been demonstrated by its exploration of forgotten works from the French orchestral and vocal-operatic repertory, but also of innovative forms of direction (the ensemble is directed from the violin) and concert formats encouraging spontaneous and imaginative reactions from the audience.In parallel with this, hecontinues his collaborationwith the Quatuor Cambini-Paris, formed in 2007, with which he performs the string quartets ofJadin, David, Gouvy, Mozart, Gounod and Haydn.JulienChauvin has conducted such operatic productions as Lemoyne’sPhèdreand Isouard’sCendrillonstaged by Marc Paquienfor the Palazzetto Bru Zane; Haydn’sArmidadirected by Mariame Clément; and Sacchini’s Chimène ou leCidstaged by Sandrine Anglade.He has appeared as guest conductor with orchestras and ensembles including theEsterházy Hofkapelle,the Orchestre Régional d’Avignon Provence, the Orkiestra Historyczna of Katowice, the Folger Consort inWashington, Les Violons du Roy and theKammerorchesterBasel.Julien Chauvinhas recorded concertante works by Haydn, Beethoven and Berlioz with Le Cercle de l’Harmonie on the Eloquentia and Ambroisie-Naïve labels.
