Théotime Langlois de Swarte
Théotime Langlois de Swarte (born 11 November 1995) is a French violinist.[1] His repertoire includes Bach,[2] Vivaldi[3][4] and other Baroque music composers.[5][6]
He was born in Céret and began playing violin at the age of four.[7] He trained at the Conservatoire de Perpignan, and later at the Conservatoire de Toulouse, under Gilles Colliard.[7] He was a nominee in the category New Talents at the Victoires de la Musique in 2020,[8] being the first baroque violinist ever nominated for that award.[9]
