An outstanding classical guitarist, now internationally recognized, whose talent and exceptional sound Alexandre Lagoya noticed very early on.
A rare artist, Nelly Decamp (1st Prize from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris in Alexandre Lagoya's class, and a Bachelor's degree in Musicology from the Sorbonne) conceives her music, classical music, as a form of contemporary expression, an expression of life, which is enriched by a hybridization with other styles: flamenco, jazz, world music.
The guitar is for her a source of invention to propose diversified programs: in solo, in chamber music, with orchestra but also around her creations with the groups Classic Fusion, Double Mixte and Mana Kela. Her works are published by Productions d'Oz (Canada), Gérard Billaudot (France) and L'empreinte mélodique (France).
She has been acclaimed by international critics and is regularly invited to perform in France and abroad: in Europe, South Korea, the United States, Quebec (Palais Montcalm, Baie Comeau Theater, Sherbrooke Theater...), Brazil (Sala Cecilia Mireles de Rio de Janeiro...) and for contemporary creation projects (Musée de Grenoble...)
She participates in numerous radio programs (France Musique...). The Mexican television devoted to her a broadcast in the Latin American countries, in Mexico and in the USA.
She also plays and records with Frédéric Laroque, violinist, Pierre Lénert, violist, Cyrille Lacrouts, cellist (all 3 supersolists of the Paris Opera), Vincent Lucas, solo flute Orchestre de Paris, Christian Escoudé, jazz guitarist, Keyvan Chémirani, percussionist....
From popular music to jazz, Nelly Decamp conceives her music, classical music, as a form of contemporary expression, an expression of life, which, like the others, is enriched by a hybridization with other styles. It is nourished by extra-European expressions that build its language around Indian and Near Eastern modes, specific to the guitar's cousin instruments. The guitar, an instrument of stylistic diversity: classical, contemporary, flamenco, jazz, and world music, is for her a springboard for proposing projects around creation and the relationship between the arts, and contributes to the renewal of audiences.
Nelly Decamp pursues both a performer and a composer approach. Her encounters in jazz with Christian Escoudé, Claude Barthélémy and the heritage of the teaching of the CNSM of Paris and the Sorbonne in Musicology and Ethnomusicology with Tran Van Khe lead her to form her own language nourished by the striking influences of composers such as Astor Piazzolla (to whom she pays homage in " Sur Le Zinc " )
