Philippe Bernold began his musical studies in Colmar, France, studying the flute and later composition and conducting under René Matter, himself a student of Charles and Fritz Münch.

He then attended the Paris Conservatory, where he earned the First Prize in flute and the next year, at the age of 23, was appointed first flute of the National Opera Orchestra of Lyon. In 1987 he won First Prize in the Jean Pierre Rampal International Competition in Paris.

This prize paved the way for an international solo career with renowned artists and orchestras, from Rostropovitch to Rampal. Orchestras with which he performed include those of Paris, Tokyo, Budapest, and Moscow with such conductors as Menuhin, Gardiner, Maazel, and Nagano. Mr. Bernold’s performances have taken him from Paris to Seoul, from London to Moscow, and to the principal festivals around the world.

In 1995, encouraged by his master J.E. Gardiner, he founded The Virtuosos of the Lyon Opera, with which he performed extensively thereafter. Since, he has conducted orchestras such as Sinfonia Varsovia, Simon Bolivar orchestra (Caracas), Baden Baden Philharmonie, chamber orchestra of Paris and Geneva, Kanazawa ensemble (Japan), and Cappella Istropolitana, with whom he was the first invited conductor since 2003.
