Guillemette Laurens was born in Fontainebleau in 1957. She studied music theory, piano and chamber music at the Toulouse Conservatory.[1]
In 1979, she participated in the founding of the ensemble Les Arts Florissants, the spearhead of the Baroque revival movement with which she worked intensively throughout the 1980s under the direction of William Christie.[2]
