A graduate of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris and laureate of numerous international competitions (Adolphe Sax Competition in Dinant, Andorra Sax Fest, Josip Nochta Competition in Zagreb), he is invited to give masterclasses and recitals around the world and is regularly engaged by prestigious ensembles such as the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Ensemble Intercontemporain.His discography, spanning contemporary creations, romantic music with piano or string quartet, and traditional Balkan music with the group Kosmopolitevitch, reflects his resolutely exploratory musical approach. In tune with the evolution of his instrument, Nicolas Arsenijevic collaborates with many composers, including Riccardo Nillni, Florent Caron Darras, Christian Lauba, Maël Bailly, and Benjamin Attahir, both as a soloist and within renowned contemporary music ensembles such as Court-Circuit, Alternance, and TM+. A passionate chamber musician, he is a member of the wind ensemble Saxback, an unconventional group created around the figure of Adolphe Sax and the instrumentarium associated with him. In chamber music, his duo with pianist Françoise Bu\et-Arsenijevic has taken him to major French venues such as Salle Gaveau and Salle Cortot.In 2024, Nicolas Arsenijevic was appointed to the prestigious position of saxophone professor at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris.Lise CharrinBorn in 1986 in the center of France, Lise Charrin studied the piano in the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris with famous French pianists Bruno Rigutto, Anne Que\élec and Franck Braley.
