La Nébuleuse / Gabriel Rignol

Born on September, 16th 2001, Gabriel Rignol began playing the guitar at the age of 8 in Michel Rubio's class at the CRR in Perpignan (France). At the age of 12 he won the Lempdes competition's first prize, and the Arpoador competition's third prize at the age of 14. At the age of 15, he obtained his DEM with honours. He then decided to devote himself to the lute with Béatrice PORNON and was admitted at the age of 16 to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon in Rolf Lislevand's class, where he obtained his DNSPM in 2021. 

He has recorded for various labels as a continuo player (Alpha Classics, Ricercar, Harmonia Mundi, Aparté, etc.) and as a soloist (Deutsche Grammophon, L'encelade, Ricercar). In August 2021 he won the Xth Maurizio Pratola International Early Music Competition's first prize, enabling him to be invited to give recitals at various festivals in France and abroad (Modena, Venice, etc.). In 2021 he founded the ensemble La Nébuleuse, which aims to showcase 17th-century French and Italian repertoire.

He is the recipient of a grant from the Fondation d'entreprise Société Générale C'est vous l'avenir for the years 2021 - 2022.
