French harpist Marion Ravot is quickly establishing a reputation as a compelling artist. Equally at home as a recitalist, chamber musician and orchestral performer, she presents the harp as an exciting and versatile component of today's concert world by offering recital programs with repertoire ranging from early keyboard music transcriptions to cutting edge compositions by modern composers which musically challenge the voice of her ancient instrument.

Marion has appeared as soloist and chamber musician throughout Europe, Asia, and the United States. Highlights of the last few years include a duo concert with Gautier Capuçon for the 30th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the premiere of Vito Zuraj “Begehren-Zersplittert “ for solo harp and orchestra with the Munich Chamber Orchestra conducted by Clemens Schuldt at the Cologne Philharmonie. She also performed Mozart Flute and Harp concerto with Mathieu Dufour under the baton of Ton Koopman in the Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonie and in the Schloss Esterhazy in Austria as well as with Upama Muckensturm at the Hangzhou Summer Festival in China. Furthermore she played the Debussy’s Danse Sacrée et Danse Profane for solo harp and orchestra with the Scharoun Ensemble. As a chamber musician she worked with Renaud Capuçon, Bruno Delepelaire, Karl-Heinz Schütz, Daniel Hope, Roger Tapping, Anthony Marwood and William Sharp among others.

As an orchestral harpist, Marion has performed with various renowned orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Gewandhaus Orchestra (Leipzig), BBC Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and Paris Opera National Orchestra. From 2019 to 2020, she acted as Solo Harpist of the German National Orchestra (DSO Berlin).

I addition to her performing career, she teaches at the Universität der Künste (University for Arts) in Berlin.

A native of Paris, France, Marion began harp lessons at the age of 11 with Isabelle Marie and then continued with Ghislaine Petit-Volta. In 2013 she graduated with her undergraduate degree in performance from the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMDP) where she studied with Isabelle Moretti and Geneviève Létang. Marion received her Master's degree at the Juilliard School in 2015 where she studied with Nancy Allen as a George Lurcy Fellow as well as a Morse Teaching Artist Fellow. Later that year she was one of only two musicians to be admitted into the prestigious Juilliard Artist Diploma for Music Performance program where she continued to study with Ms. Allen with the gracious support of the Safran Fondation. In 2016 she was admitted in the Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, where she stayed three years under the mentoring of Marie Pierre Langlamet.
