Jean-Baptiste Aguessy began to learn the violin at the age of four, later studying with Patrick Chemla, Pierre Hofer and Jane Peters in the CNR of Rouen. After finishing his violin and chamber music studies there in 2004, he came to Paris to continue with Catherine Montier and Christophe Poiget and to start the viola with Marie-Christine Witterkoër. Six months later he was unanimously accepted at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP) in the viola class of Jean Sulem and Raymond Glatard, which enabled him to also receive the teaching of other famous musicians such as Antoine Tamestit, Vladimir Mendelssohn, Olivier Charlier, Richard Wolfe... during master classes. In 2005, he was invited to give a serie of concerts in Guadalupe and partook in the "Bachfest of Chelan" music festival near Seattle in the USA. The two following summers, he got a scholarship for the American Fontainebleau Schools’ chamber music academy and in 2007, he was invited by the International Orchestra Institute Attergau, supervised by Christoph Eschenbach and musicians from the Vienna Philarmarmoniker Orchestra. In October, he will start his master’s degree in Paris.
