We are very happy to welcome flautist Hervé Hotier to the great family of Miyazawa artists. Our long friendship led us to meet again thanks to an instrument that immediately appealed to him. Those who have had the pleasure of participating in his masterclasses know what a talented teacher he can be. And Miyazawa now has the chance to count Hervé Hotier among its ambassadors and together we will come to meet flautists to share our passion.
Originally from the North of France, Hervé Hotier was born into a family of circus and performing arts enthusiasts. He began music at the age of six at the National Regional Conservatory of Douai. There he will receive complete training in flute, chamber music and musical training.
