Camille Valla Pesendorfer, born in 2011 to an Austrian father and a French mother in Paris, is a musician who embarked on his journey at the age of six, when he took up the violin, and by eight, he added the piano to his repertoire. His talent led him to the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris at the age of eight. Camille was admitted to the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin School in England when he turned ten in September 2022, where he currently studies with prof. Sebastian Müller. Simultaneously, he is enrolled in the class of prof. Corinne Kloska in Paris, achieving the distinction of being named premier nommé in 2023. Camille also possesses a keen interest in composition, harmonic analysis, and orchestration. These passions find expression in his studies under the tutelage of prof. Rémi Guillard at the Schola Cantorum in Paris. Complementing his formal education, Camille actively participates in summer academies in Flaine, France, where he receives instruction from prof. Szigeti in violin, and prof. Laszko in piano.
