Mélanie Clapiès and Yan Levionnois met in 2009 during a series of string ensemble concerts and soon decided to form a violin and cello duo. They received guidance from Truls Mørk, Philippe Muller, Syoko Aki as well as Aldo Parisot. They have performed at the festivals of Deauville, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Colmar and La Roque d’Anthéron as a resident ensemble.

Les Pierrots Lunaires endeavour to seek out and make known a 20th and 21st century repertory that is often unknown to the public. Considered by romantic composers as too austere to be worthy of attention, the duo of violin and cello became, after the first world war, a favourite means of expression for composers seeking new sounds to express a new aesthetic.
