He continued his musical studies in harpsichord, theory and composition at the Conservatoire de Paris. His teachers and mentors have included Emil Tchakarov, William Christie and Marc Minkowski.

Le Cercle de l'Harmonie

[edit]

In 2005, Rhorer and violinist Julien Chauvin co-founded the period-instrument orchestra Le Cercle de l'Harmonie. The ensemble focuses on recreating performance practices, traditions, and original instrumentation of 18th and 19th century music.[6] Rhorer and Le Cercle de l'Harmonie have made commercial recordings for such labels as Virgin Classics. The orchestra made its UK debut in 2011 at the Barbican Centre,[7] and its debut at The Proms in July 2016.[8] Rhorer made his USA conducting debut in 2008 with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.[9] Their most recent performances included Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia on period instruments at the Edinburgh International Festival[10] and Musikfest Bremen in Summer 2018, and Verdi's La traviata using the original 432 HZ tuning at Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, directed by Deborah Werner.[11]

He has been invited to conduct at international festivals such as Aix-en-Provence, Glyndebourne, Edinburgh, the BBC Proms, the Salzburg Festival, and the Spoleto Festival. Rhorer made his U.S. debut in 2008 with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.
