Jean-Luc Ho

Jean-Luc Ho has studied music for over fifteen years. Today he performs in concert on harpsichord, organ, clavichord and ensemble. His numerous collaborations with instrument builders, researchers, musicians and craftsmen, inspire him in his work.

His debut solo recordings of Bach, Couperin, Sweelinck, and Byrd have won many accolades (France Musique choice, Diapason découverte, 5 diapasons, Choc Classica)...

As acting organist of St Germain des Prés in Paris from 2006 to 2016, he was one of the founders of l'Art de la Fugue, working on the restoration, installation and enhancement of a historic Castilian organ from 1768 in the church of Fresnes (94). He and Guillaume Prieur were appointed at the beginning of 2022 as assistant organists of the historic organ of the collegiate church in Dole.

His residencies at the Bach en Combrailles festival (2017-2019) and at the Royaumont Abbey (2018-2021) provide him with an ideal setting for the approach of Couperin's Nations and Masses; the Art of the Fugue, the Musical Offering and Bach's Goldberg Variations.

Harpsichord teacher at the Franconville music school (95) from 2004 to 2011, he now teaches at workshops and masterclasses for Embarquement Immédiat, the Royaumont Foundation, the Dieppe keyboard academy, Clavecin en France...

He has also been involved for over 10 years with the Musée de la Musique - Philharmonie de Paris - for a wider audience. In 2021 he will succeed Émile Jobin as professor of tuning, settings and temperaments at the Paris Conservatoire CNSMDP.

Jean-Luc Ho collaborates with the ensembles Les Meslanges, La Guilde des Mercenaires, and Le Petit Trianon.
