Franco-Dutch violist S`ao Soulez Larivi`ere is quickly building himself a thriving career as a versatile musician. Captivating audiences with his playing and original programming, he endeavours to broaden the accessibility and understanding of classical music. At the age of 22, he is already a top prizewinner of several international competitions, including the 2020 Oskar Nedbal Viola Competiton, 2019 Max Rostal Competition, 2017 Cecil Aronowitz Competition and 2017 Johannes Brahms Competition. He has been featured at numerous renowned academies such as the Verbier Festival, Gstaad Menuhin Festival, Kronberg Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Festival, and IMS Prussia Cove.
Chamber music has always been at the heart of his musical upbringing, sharing his love for music with his sister, violinist Cosima Soulez Larivi`ere, with whom he still frequently performs. S`ao is a member of the Frielinghaus Ensemble, which released a highly praised album in 2020, featuring sextets by Dvor’ak and Tchaikovsky. A much sought after chamber musician, he has appeared at various festivals such as Elba Isola Musicale d’Europa, Krzyzowa-Music Festival, and ‘Chamber Music Connects the World’ in Kronberg.
An advocate for expanding the horizons of his audience, he strives to also share and promote works by contemporary composers. Working with acclaimed composers has offered him an unparalleled opportunity to delve deeper into the creative side of music. At the Max Rostal Competition in 2019, S`ao received the prize for the best interpretation of the commissioned work by Kurt Rohde. Moreover, he premiered several new compositions at the 2020 Impuls Festival in Germany, which was centred around the viola. Furthermore, his passion for broadening the viola repertoire has led him to arrange and transcribe several works for the instrument, ranging from music by Bach to Jan’acek.
