Hugo Crisci
Oboe & English horn
About
Originally from Grenoble, Hugo Crisci discovered ensemble music and its instruments through conducting at the age of 18. It was then that he discovered the oboe and decided to devote himself to the study and performance of the instrument.
During his studies at the CRR of Grenoble with Valérie Smaniotto, Hugo had the opportunity to work with a number of distinguished teachers, including David Walter, Jacques Tys, and Hélène Devilleneuve. He then continued his studies with Jean-Louis Capezzali for three years at the Institut d’Enseignement Supérieur de la Musique (IESM) in Aix-en-Provence before joining the Master’s programme at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne (HEMU) in 2025, where he studies with Fabien Thouand, Nora Cismondi, and Clément Noël.
This year, Hugo is undertaking various artistic projects centred on the English horn and on the relationship between classical music and video games.
