Biographical note

Elisa Mary Dignac chose the cello at the age of eight. Born into a family of amateur musicians, she grew up in an environment defined by shared musical experiences with her sisters and parents. As her passion for artistic expression deepened, Elisa decided to pursue her studies in this chosen field, enrolling at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux (France). She subsequently earned her degrees from the Pôle d’Enseignement Supérieur de Bordeaux (Bachelor’s in Performance and a Teaching Diploma), which allowed her to broaden her artistic horizons through orchestral work and chamber music. longside her classical training on the modern cello, Elisa has also developed her playing through various projects in folk, rock, and jazz. At the age of 30, she decided to return to her studies to specialize in early music (on period instruments). This opened up an entirely new world for her. Discovering the viola da gamba felt like a natural progression and a true revelation. For the past eleven years, pedagogy has played a vital role in her career. As a teacher, she is dedicated to sharing her expertise and passion with young, aspiring artists. Elisa performs on three different instruments: the modern cello, the baroque cello, and the viola da gamba. This versatility allows her to explore an enriched repertoire and fosters diverse musical collaborations.
