INTERVIEW MIT MATHILDE VENDRAMIN :

1) Why did you come to Berlin and where did you live before?

I moved to Berlin in order to experience the life in a bigger city, open myself to all its cultural opportunities and to continue my studies at the Jazz Institute Berlin (UdK) in order to study jazz vocal and jazz cello.
Before October 2021, during 4 years, I lived in Graz, Austria where I graduated in classical cello. Before that I lived in Strasbourg, France where I graduated in musicology.

2) Why do you play jazz? What does it mean to you?

I play jazz or improvised music because it is the music that best suits my character. In jazz, the musician is seen as a creative person in his or her own right: that's how I can express who I am and what I feel.
During my childhood, I only listened to jazz even though I only learned classical cello at music school. My parents didn't understand why I was interested in this kind of music. I memorized Ella's solos just for fun without even knowing what it was to transcribe a solo.
Maybe by playing jazz and improvising, I am reconnecting with that inner child that we often forget when we become adults and prioritize serious things like bills or the car insurance… that’s it…
Maybe for me, playing jazz is just that child in me that wants to play again and again without stopping...

3) Can you tell a bit about the jazz scene in your country of origin? Jazzhotspots, colleges, clubs, musicians?

Actually, I don't know much about the situation of the jazz scene in France because I left it 6 years ago when I didn't even know I was going to get into this music. However, there are a lot of great french jazz musicians that I draw a lot of inspiration from, like singer Camille Bertault, saxophonist Thomas de Pourquery, trumpet player Airelle Besson, saxophonist Emile Parisien, accordionist Vincent Peirani, cellist Vincent Ségal, multi-instrumentalist Médéric Collignon... etc

Biographie Mathilde Vendramin:
Mathilde Vendramin, french cellist and singer, loves to laugh.
She laughed especially at the age of 12 when her mother told her in tears that she had backed up over her very first cello, crushing it into a thousand pieces with her father's red Peugeot 306.
She laughed, and knew that she would have to create in order to maintain her own sanity for the rest of her life...
After studying musicology at the Université de Strasbourg and the cello at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg, she continued her cello studies at the Kunst Universität Graz in Austria, where she has been living for past 4 years.
Her versatility allows her to perform in a lot of music fields such as improvised music, experimental music, cabaret or classical music. Also interested in theater and performance, she won the first prize for the best performance at the San Marino New Music Project's competition in 2018.
As a self-taught singer, she has recently been accepted at the Hans Eisler University in Berlin to study jazz singing at the Jazz-Institut-Berlin from October 2021.
