Solrey

Solrey engages in a diverse array of artistic roles—as violinist, conductor, artistic director and videographer — to cultivate a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of music. Central to her career is her long-standing collaboration with esteemed composer and conductor Alexandre Desplat. Working initially as concertmaster with him for many years since the 1990s, this partnership represents a singular and distinguished position within the contemporary musical landscape today. 

As artistic director and assistant conductor for all Desplat’s symphonic concerts and recordings, Solrey has supervised his award-winning studio recording sessions from Paris to London, New York to Los Angeles. Through this partnership, she has initiated a new and refined approach to string writing for film, and directs and adapts his film scores for concerts, showcasing the full richness of his compositions for stages around the globe. 

As a guest conductor, recent highlights include performances with the likes of Orchestre des Pays de Savoie, Orchestre National Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and in 2025 she makes her debut with Hong Kong Philharmonic. In 2021, Solrey conducted Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Norwegian National Opera Orchestra for a multi-disciplinary project with acclaimed writer and choreographer, Alan Lucien Øyen. 

Solrey received her initial training as a violinist in Paris before refining her artistry in the United States, Switzerland and Italy under the guidance of renowned mentors including Pierre Doukan, Henri Temianka and Jaap Schröder. In the early stages of her career, she performed as a violinist in chamber and symphonic ensembles such as Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Ensemble Instrumental de Lausanne, Ensemble Mosaïque, and California Chamber Orchestra. As well as work in the traditional classical world, her performance passions have also encompassed extensive work in film soundtracks, world music, and interdisciplinary collaborations in dance and theatre.
