Classical Fact

Jean-Philippe Collard's musical family must have had high expectations for his future when they entered him into the Superior National Conservatory of Music in Paris at a very young age. He went on to win the Conservatory's top prize and a number of other international competitions. He made a highly acclaimed debut in America in a series of concerts with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and has been invited to appear with major orchestras from coast to coast and around the world. Jean-Philippe Collard has made numerous appearances at British Festivals, notably in Edinburgh and the Proms. In 2003, he was made a Chevalier in France's Legion of Honor.
