Raphaël Feuillâtre started classical guitar lessons at the age of nine with Hacène Addadi at Cholet Conservatory. In 2012, he entered Michel Grizard’s class at the Conservatory of Nantes. Three years later, he was accepted to the Paris National Superior Conservatory of Music and Dance (CNSMDP) into the class of Roland Dyens and obtained his Bachelor of Performing Arts degree in 2017 with highest honors. He is currently working on his Master’s Degree in Classical Guitar Performance with Tristan Manoukian. Raphaël also works with Judicaël Perroy, who plays a very important role in his artistic development.
