Biography

Franco-Dutch violist Sào Soulez Larivière is quickly building himself a thriving career as a versatile musician. Captivating audiences with his playing and original programming, he endeavours to broaden the accessibility and perception of classical music in our modern world.

He was named as the 2023 'Young Artist of the Year’ by the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA), and was nominated as ‘Rising Star’ by the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO), which will see him perform in Europe’s most prominent concert halls during the 2024/25 season. 

These achievements build on his growing international career, propelled by recent competition successes, including first prize at the 2023 Prague Spring International Competition, along with top prizes at the Tokyo, Oskar Nedbal, Max Rostal, Cecil Aronowitz, and Johannes Brahms competitions.

Chamber music has always been at the heart of Sào’s musical upbringing, sharing his love for music with his sister, violinist Cosima Soulez Larivière, with whom he still regularly performs. He is also a member of the Frielinghaus Ensemble, which has released several critically acclaimed albums.

An advocate for expanding the horizons of the viola repertoire, he enjoys arranging works for his instrument as well as promoting contemporary music. Collaborating with renowned composers such as Fazil Say, Olli Mustonen and Julia Wolfe gave him the unprecedented opportunity to delve deeper into the creative side of music.

Born in Paris in 1998, Sào began his musical journey playing the violin, and at a young age received a scholarship to study with Natasha Boyarsky at the Yehudi Menuhin School in England. It was there that he discovered the viola through chamber and orchestral music, deciding to fully commit to the instrument in his later school years. 

His artistic development has been deeply enriched by working with many distinguised musicians such as Jean Sulem, Nobuko Imai, Antoine Tamestit, Boris Garlitsky, and Steven Isserlis.

Based in Berlin, Sào completed his Bachelor of Music under Tabea Zimmermann at the Hochschule für Musik 'Hanns Eisler'. He earned a Master’s Degree at the Kronberg Academy, where he is currently enrolled in the Professional Studies programme, supported by the Leber patronage.

Teaching has become a great passion in Sào’s musical life, and he is thrilled to have been appointed professor of viola from autumn 2023 at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg.

He has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the 'Ritter Preis' on behalf of the Oscar and Vera Ritter Foundation and the Fanny Mendelssohn Förderpreis, which enabled him to release his debut album, Impression.

Sào is also a scholarship holder of the Yehudi Menuhin 'Live Music Now' e.V. Berlin, and served as a Classeek Ambassador for the 2023/24 season. He has received generous support from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and the Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz Foundation. For 2024-26, he will participate in the Günther Caspar-Stiftung Career Advancement Programme.

Sào plays a viola made in Montpellier in 2013 by Fréderic Chaudière.

Musicien polyvalent, l’altiste franco-néerlandais Sào Soulez Larivière poursuit une carrière florissante. Captivant le public avec son jeu et sa programmation originale, il cherche à élargir l’accessibilité et la perception de la musique classique dans notre monde moderne.

Il a été nommé «Young Artist of the Year» des International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) 2023, et a été nominé en tant que «Rising Star» par l’European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO), ce qui le verra se produire dans les salles de concert les plus importantes d’Europe au cours de la saison 2024/25.

Ces réalisations s’appuient sur sa carrière internationale croissante, propulsée par de récents succès en concours, notamment le premier prix du Prague Spring International Competition 2023, ainsi que des prix prestigieux aux concours de Tokyo, Oskar Nedbal, Max Rostal, Cecil Aronowitz et Johannes Brahms.

La musique de chambre a toujours été au cœur de son éducation musicale, partageant son amour pour la musique avec sa sœur, la violoniste Cosima Soulez Larivière, avec qui il se produit toujours fréquemment. Il est également membre de l'Ensemble Frielinghaus, qui a sorti plusieurs albums acclamés par la critique.

Désireux d’élargir les horizons du répertoire d’alto, il aime arranger des œuvres pour son instrument et promouvoir des œuvres contemporaines. Ses collaborations avec des compositeurs de renom tels que Olli Mustonen, Fazil Say et Julia Wolfe, lui ont offert une opportunité unique d’approfondir l’aspect créatif de la musique.

Né à Paris en 1998, Sào a commencé son parcours musical en jouant du violon et a reçu très jeune une bourse pour rejoindre la classe de Natasha Boyarsky à l’Ecole Yehudi Menuhin en Angleterre. Après s'être pris de passion pour l’alto en jouant de la musique de chambre et orchestrale, il décide de se consacrer entièrement à cet instrument vers la fin de ses études.

De plus, son développement musical s’est profondément enrichi par le travail avec de nombreux musiciens réputés tels que Jean Sulem, Nobuko Imai, Antoine Tamestit, Boris Garlitsky et Steven Isserlis.

Il réside à Berlin, où il a obtenu un Bachelor en musique avec Tabea Zimmermann à la Hochschule für Musik ‘Hanns Eisler’. Il est actuellement inscrit au programme ‘Professional Studies’ de la Kronberg Academy, où il a également obtenu son Master. Ses études sont financées par le mécénat Leber.

L’enseignement est devenu une grande passion dans la vie musicale de Sào et à partir de l’automne 2023, il est ravi d’avoir été nommé professeur d’alto à l’Université Mozarteum de Salzbourg.

Il a été récompensé par plusieurs prix réputés, dont le « Ritter Preis » au nom de la Fondation Oscar et Vera Ritter et le Fanny Mendelssohn Förderpreis, qui lui a permis de sortir son premier album, «Impression». 

Sào est également boursier de Yehudi Menuhin 'Live Music Now' e.V. Berlin, et a servi comme ‘Classeek Ambassador’ pour la saison 2023/24. Il a été généreusement soutenu par la Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes et la Fondation Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz. Pour 2024-26, il participera au Günther Caspar-Stiftung Career Advancement Program.

Der französisch-niederländische Bratschist Sào Soulez Larivière baut sich schnell eine blühende Karriere als vielseitiger Musiker auf. Er fasziniert das Publikum mit seinem Spiel und seiner originellen Programmierung und bemüht sich, die Zugänglichkeit und Wahrnehmung klassischer Musik in unserer modernen Welt zu erweitern.

Er wurde von den International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) zum „Young Artist of the Year“ 2023 ernannt und von der European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) als „Rising Star“ nominiert, was bedeutet, dass er in der Saison 2024/25 in den bedeutendsten Konzertsälen Europas auftreten wird.

Diese Erfolge bauen auf seiner wachsenden internationalen Karriere auf, die durch jüngste Wettbewerbserfolge vorangetrieben wird, darunter der erste Preis beim Prague Spring International Competition 2023, sowie Hauptpreise bei den Wettbewerben von Tokio, Oskar Nedbal, Max Rostal, Cecil Aronowitz und Johannes Brahms.

Kammermusik stand schon immer im Mittelpunkt seiner musikalischen Erziehung. Seine Liebe zur Musik teilte er mit seiner Schwester, der Geigerin Cosima Soulez Larivière, mit der er noch immer häufig auftritt. Sào ist auch Mitglied des Frielinghaus Ensembles, das mehrere von der Kritik gefeierte Alben veröffentlicht hat.

Als Fürsprecher der Erweiterung des Horizonts des Bratschenrepertoires, arrangiert er gerne Werke für sein Instrument und fördert zeitgenössische Musik. Die Zusammenarbeit mit renommierten Komponisten wie Fazil Say, Olli Mustonen und Julia Wolfe gab ihm die beispiellose Gelegenheit, tiefer in die kreative Seite der Musik einzutauchen.

Geboren 1998 in Paris, begann Sào seine musikalische Laufbahn ursprünglich mit der Geige. Schon in jungen Jahren erhielt er ein Stipendium für ein Studium bei Natasha Boyarsky an der Yehudi Menuhin School in England. Dort entdeckte er die Bratsche durch Kammer- und Orchestermusik und beschloss, sich in seinen späteren Schuljahren voll und ganz dem Instrument zu widmen. 

Seine künstlerische Entwicklung wurde durch die Zusammenarbeit mit vielen renommierten Musikern wie Jean Sulem, Nobuko Imai, Antoine Tamestit, Boris Garlitsky und Steven Isserlis zutiefst bereichert.

Sào lebt in Berlin und schloss seinen Bachelor of Music bei Tabea Zimmermann an der Hochschule für Musik „Hanns Eisler“ ab. Seinen Master-Abschluss erwarb er an der Kronberg Academy, wo er derzeit das Professional Studies-Programm absolviert. Sein Studium wird durch die Leber-Patronage finanziert.

Das Unterrichten ist zu einer großen Leidenschaft in Sàos musikalischem Leben geworden, und er freut sich, ab Herbst 2023 als Professor für Bratsche an der Universität Mozarteum Salzburg berufen zu werden.

Er wurde mit mehreren renommierten Preisen ausgezeichnet, darunter dem „Ritter Preis“ der Oscar und Vera Ritter-Stiftung und dem Fanny Mendelssohn Förderpreis, der ihm die Veröffentlichung seines Debütalbums „Impression“ ermöglichte.

Sào ist außerdem Stipendiat des Yehudi Menuhin „Live Music Now“ e.V. Berlin und war für der Saison 2023/24 Classeek Ambassador. Er erhielt großzügige Unterstützung von der Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes und der Stiftung Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz. In den Jahren 2024-26 wird er am Career Advancement Program der Günther Caspar-Stiftung teilnehmen.

Sào spielt eine Bratsche, die 2013 von Fréderic Chaudière in Montpellier gebaut wurde.
