"Elise Bertrand impresses with her remarkable creativity. Her compositions showcase a blend of exceptional musical, technical, and expressive qualities, all contributing to profound and delicately nuanced poetics. Her artistic freedom and creative vigor establish her as a unique and distinctive composer, and certainly, one to watch!"

After studying at the CRR in Toulon, Elise went on to obtain her master's degree at the CNSMDP in the class of Roland Daugareil and extended her career in higher writing classes in the same establishment (harmony, counterpoint, etc.). In 2022 she also became Artist in Residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in the class of Augustin Dumay.
