Antoine Siguré

After his move to Brussels in 2009, and following his encounter with the musicians of Spira mirabilis, he decided to shift his focus to timpani and their role in orchestral repertoire.

He joined the Philharmonia Orchestra as principal timpani in 2016, aged 29, and kept an active freelance career on the side. Over the years, Antoine has performed as principal timpani with Aurora Orchestra, the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the London Symphony Orchestra, l’Orchestre de Paris, l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Brussels Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, l’Orchestre des Champs Élysées and the Pygmalion ensemble, among others.

Antoine joined the Academy as Professor of Timpani in 2022 and has collaborated with other prestigious universities such as the Royal College of Music, the Australian National Academy of Music, the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique (Paris), the Korean National University of Arts (Seoul), the Conservatorio de Música de Cartagena (Colombia), the Trinity Laban Conservatoire, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and the Purcell School.
