Pierre Gallon
Early music keyboardist Pierre Gallon is a versatile figure who performs and records solo and in multiple ensembles of various sizes. His repertory stretches from the Renaissance to the Classical period.
Gallon was born on March 27, 1986, in Falaise, Normandy, France. His father was lutenist Pascal Gallon, and both Pierre and his brother, the future cellist François Gallon, grew up surrounded by early music instruments of many kinds. Gallon took up the harpsichord at age nine and soon enrolled for classes with Bibiane Lapointe and Thierry Maeder at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Caen. He also studied the violin. Gallon entered the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMD) in 2006, studying harpsichord and basso continuo with Olivier Baumont and Blandine Rannou. He also encountered the harpsichordist Blandine Verlet, Élisabeth Joyé, and Pierre Hantaï, and he has pointed to their teachings as important to his development. In 2014, Gallon made his debut recording on the L'Encelade label with the album Attaingnant: Auprès de vous, devoted to music issued by a Parisian publisher of the 16th century. He continued to be associated with L'Encelade through the 2010s and early 2020s, also issuing albums on Harmonia Mundi as he collaborated with other artists.
Gallon has been notable for the breadth of his collaborations with other artists. He is the principal harpsichordist for the Baroque-oriented Ensemble Pygmalion and has served in the same position with Ensemble Correspondances and Le Poème Harmonique, among other groups. Gallon also accompanies soprano Alice Foccroulle, recording the album Haydn: Deutsche Lieder with her as a fortepianist in 2021, and he performs regularly and has recorded with viol player Lucile Boulanger. In 2023, he played harpsichord on the Irish and Scottish album Indiscretion by The Curious Bards. Gallon returned in 2024, joining harpsichordist Matthieu Boutineau on a two-keyboard version of François Couperin's Concerts Royaux. That release marked Gallon's first appearance as a featured artist on Harmonia Mundi.
