“Julien Masmondet is a diligent artist with solid musicianship and a keen intellect.”
Paavo Järvi
27 January 2025 – Little Tribeca Agency is delighted to announce the signing of Julien Masmondet, an audacious conductor and artist of international stature, to its roster of talents.
A singular artist and musical explorer, Julien Masmondet stands out for his innovative approach to conducting. A regular guest of prestigious orchestras in France and abroad, he has conducted in such emblematic venues as Paris, Lyon, Quebec, Vienna, Moscow, Prague, Naples and Riga. His career has been enriched by a landmark collaboration with Paavo Järvi as assistant conductor of the Orchestre de Paris, enabling him to broaden his repertoire and work with masters such as Herbert Blomstedt, Louis Langrée, David Zinman and Christoph von Dohnanyi.
Renowned for his musical instinct, communicative energy and ability to unite musicians, Julien Masmondet excels in both the symphonic and operatic repertoires. Passionate about contemporary music, he regularly commissions and creates works, reinvents concert formats and takes on atypical venues, demonstrating a constant desire to open up classical music to new audiences.
In 2018, he founded the ensemble Les Apaches! with which he establishes a rich dialogue between contemporary creation and works from the past, collaborating with artists from a variety of disciplines. Among his recent projects, the Street Art concert recorded live by Arte at the Musée d’Orsay was a great success. In 2025, he will unveil an immersive project based on Ravel at the Théâtre du Châtelet, followed by an international tour.
Julien Masmondet has recorded for prestigious labels such as Sony Music, Warner Classics and Aparté, collaborating with renowned orchestras such as the Orchestre National de France and the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. His recent performance of Florent Schmitt’s La Tragédie de Salomé with Les Apaches was hailed by the critics and won him a Diapason d’Or and a Choc Classica.
By joining Little Tribeca Agency, Julien Masmondet is taking part in a new dynamic of career development, supported by a team committed to accompanying the great artists of the international music scene.
