Welcome to my website !

I’m Sylvain Dessane, a violist passionate about making music—whether through chamber music, orchestral playing, or teaching. For me, music is about emotion and connection: between musicians, with the audience, and within the music itself. It’s about sharing something beyond words, something that speaks directly to the heart.

I have always been drawn to the intimacy and depth of chamber music, collaborating with wonderful musicians in quartets, sonata programs, and other ensembles. At the same time, I love the energy and colors of the orchestra, where every voice contributes to something greater than itself.

Teaching is another important part of my musical life. Whether working with violin and viola students or coaching chamber music groups, I enjoy helping musicians develop their skills, discover new ideas, and grow in confidence.
