Amaury Coeytaux has established himself as one of the most outstanding violinists of his generation.

As The Strad Magazine points out, it's his " great musical sensitivity, impeccable technique and warm sound" that have endeared him to audiences in the world's greatest concert halls.

A student of Micheline Lefebvre, Jean-Jacques Kantorow and Pinchas Zukerman, he gave his first recital at the age of 9 and made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2004. Since then, he has performed as a soloist and chamber musician with Pinchas Zukerman, Yefim Bronfman, Frank Braley, Nicholas Angelich, Gérard Caussé and Myung-Whun Chung at major festivals including La Roque d'Anthéron, Menton, Colmar, Lugano, Salzburg, Rheingau, Bucharest Festival Enescu and Amsterdam.

Now concertmaster of the Modigliani Quartet, he can be heard in the most prestigious concert halls, including the Philharmonie de Paris, the Hamburg Philharmonie, the Berlin Konzerthaus, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Bilbao Philharmonie and the Prinzregententheater in Munich...

The 2022-2023 season is marked by several major tours of the United States, Korea and Japan.

With the Modigliani Quartet, he has been artistic director of the Saint Paul de Vence Festival and the Bordeaux International String Quartet Competition since 2020.

Passionate about the orchestral repertoire, he collaborates with conductors such as Myung-whun Chung, Gustavo Dudamel, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Tugan Sokhiev. He regularly conducts and performs as soloist with the Radio France Philharmonic, the Strasbourg Philharmonic, the Toulouse Capitole, the Spanish Radio Orchestra, the Navarre Symphony Orchestra, the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra...

Following the release of his latest disc, devoted to Brahms sonatas, he received unanimous praise from international critics, as well as the highest distinctions from Diapason, Classica and Télérama. His discography highlights the richness of his different musical horizons, with concertante works by Ysaye, Brahms trios and numerous quartet recordings, including the complete Schubert quartets released by Mirare in 2022.
