Cécile Daroux is regarded as a prominent interpreter of classical flute repertoire and a young ambassadress of twentieth century music.  She studied flute, chamber music, and music history at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris under the great French flutist Pierre-Yves Artaud, and she continues to study with other masters (including Debost, Nicolet, and Jean Pierre Rampal).  Highly regarded for her technical and stylistic maturity, she won several prizes at major international contests, including the First Prize of Interpretation at the Darmstadt International Competition.  

Ms Daroux has been invited by important music festivals worldwide including the Salzburg Festival, and others in London, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, and Avignon.  She has also appeared as a soloist at important Paris venues including the Salle Gaveau, the Cité de la Musique, and she was invited to give a solo recital at the Festival Présence at Radio-France.

Deeply committed to the contemporary repertoire, she has worked closely with Berio, Stockhausen, Jolas, Kurtag; numerous composers have written works for her.  She also crosses musical boundaries, having performed with various artists in other fields, notably Sun Ra.
