Biography
Viola da gamba player Myriam Rignol became a fixture of the Baroque historical performance scene in the 2010s. She has performed with a variety of leading ensembles, including Correspondances, Pygmalion, and the Ricercar Consort.

Rignol was born in Perpignan in far southern France in 1988. She took to the viola da gamba as a child and was given lessons from age seven by Christian Sala. She continued her studies with him at the Perpignan Conservatory (C.N.R. Perpignan), earning a diploma there in 2004, and she went on for master's-level studies in Lyon with Marianne Muller. Rignol rounded out her education in 2011 with a year of studies under Rainer Zipperling at the Hochschule für Musik Köln, under the auspices of the European Erasmus program, and with master classes from Jordi Savall, Wieland Kuijken, and Philippe Pierlot, among others. Since then, she has played in a large number of historically inclined Baroque ensembles. She joined Pierlot and theorbist Rolf Lislevand in the Ricercar Consort, as well as performing in Pygmalion with countertenor Raphaël Pichon, in the 17th century-oriented Ensemble Correspondances with keyboardist Sébastien Daucé, and with conductor Patrick Ayrton in Les Inventions, among many others. Rignol is also a co-founder, with violinist Yoko Kawakubo and harpsichordist Julien Wolfs, of the ensemble Les Timbres; that group won first prizes at the International Competition for Ensembles in Bruges, Belgium, and the Competition for Early Music in Yamanashi, Japan.

Rignol joined tenor Cyril Auvity and harpsichordist Marie van Rhijn for a Glossa recording of ensemble music of the little-known composer Constantijn Huygens. In 2020, Rignol moved, with other members of the Ricercar Consort, to Mirare for a recording of viol music by Jean de Sainte-Colombe and other French composers. Since 2011, she has been a professor of viola da gamba at the Conservatoire du Grand Besançon Métropole. ~ James Manheim, Rovi
