Jean-Luc Ho

Jean-Luc Ho has studied music for over fifteen years. Today, he performs as a soloist on harpsichord, organ, clavichord and as a chamber musician. His work is inspired by numerous collaborations with instrument builders, researchers, musicians and craftsmen.

His debut solo recording of Bach, Couperin, Sweelinck, and Byrd have won many accolades (France Musique choice, Diapason découverte, 5 Diapasons d’or, Choc de Classica). 

As an organist of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris from 2006 to 2016, he was one of the founders of the project Art de la Fugue, working on the restoration, installation and enhancement of a historic Castilian organ from 1768 in the church of Fresnes. He and Guillaume Prieur were appointed at the beginning of 2022 assistant organists of the historic organ of the collegiate church in Dole. 

His residencies at the Festival Bach en Combrailles (2017–2019) and at the Royaumont Abbey (2018–2021) provided him with an ideal setting for the approach of Couperin’s Nations and Masses, as well as Bach’s Art of the Fugue, Musical Offering and Goldberg Variations. 

Harpsichord teacher at the Franconville music school from 2004 to 2011, he now teaches at workshops and masterclasses for Embarquement Immédiat, the Royaumont Foundation, the Dieppe keyboard academy, Clavecin en France. 

He has also been involved for over ten years with the Musée de la Musique – Philharmonie de Paris. In 2021, he succeeded Émile Jobin as professor of tuning, settings and temperaments at the Conservatoire national Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. 

Jean-Luc Ho collaborates with the ensembles Les Meslanges, La Guilde des Mercenaires, and Le Petit Trianon.
