Artist in Residence | William Christie

As part of our video series featuring this season's artists in residence at the Philharmonie, we had an insightful conversation with conductor and harpsichordist William Christie. Join us as we discuss the perks of a residency, the unique challenges of conducting an orchestra while simultaneously playing the harpsichord, the process of collaborating with the Luxembourg Philharmonic, and the formation of the now-iconic ensemble Les Arts Florissants. Don't miss Mr. Christie’s next concert at the Philharmonie on 08.02! For more information and tickets, visit philharmonie.lu .

Quite incredible to hear how he speaks with a Scottish English accent now after working so much with his co-conductor of Les Arts Florrisants, Paul Agnew

I'd say William Christie speaks in a Mid-Atlantic light American accent. I don't detect Scottish myself. I believe he is French-American.

@@clavichord i know he is french- american but the Scottish accent from Paul is absolutely there. compare this video with a video of him speaking english just 10 years ago to hear the difference

@@Nooticus I don't hear any Scottish accent from William Christie and I actually live one hour from the border with Scotland
