The French harpsichordist, Blandine Rannou, is the outcome of a training started with 3 first prizes (harpsichord, basso continuo, chamber music) at the Paris National Superior Conservatorium where she teaches currently basso continuo, with a training at the Sweelink Conservatory in Amsterdam with Bob van Asperen, and the prize in 1992 of the International Harpsichord Competition in Bruges; she was also awarded the RTB prize and the jury's special prize.

Further to an intense chamber music and basso continuo activity with Il Seminario Musicale - Direction G?rard Lesne, Les Basses R?unies - Bruno Cocset, Pascal Monteilhet, Richard Myron, she develops a solo activity (La Roque d’Anth?ron, Madrid, Versailles Baroque Music center, Paris Palais-Royal…)

Blandine Rannou started with Zig-Zag Territoires, a soloist discography, noticed by the media with the "Int?grales des pi?ces pour clavecin seul et en concerts" de Jean-Philippe Rameau.
