Hometown: Montpellier, France
First year with Sarasota Orchestra: 2000
Instrument: Léna plays a handcrafted violin specially made for her by Italian luthier Vittorio Villa in his Cremona workshop in 2016. Despite being so new, her violin already sounds like velvet, yet is very powerful as well.
Education: 1er prix Conservatoire National de Montpellier, France; Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance - Royal College of Music, London, United Kingdom.
Career Highlights: One of Léna's career highlights is competing in her first International Violin Competition in Rome, Italy. She prepared intensively for four months and learned some of the most difficult violin repertoire. This experience helped her acquire self-discipline to a level she never knew existed. She won 2nd place after three very stressful rounds. Since she was still very young, her older brother Romain chaperoned her, and sharing this incredible experience with him made them very close.
Passions and Interests: Léna enjoys teaching, cooking, baking, gardening, traveling the world with her children.
