Judith Baubérot is a French conductor and violinist dedicated to making classical and contemporary music more accessible. She is particularly interested in innovative programming and the development of her own artistic projects.

Deeply committed to promoting women composers and twentieth-century repertoire, Judith has chosen to program the Berlin premiere of Elsa Barraine’s Second Symphony with the BSOF in June 2026. As a violinist, she has also taken part in the creation of musical theatre works by composers such as Ludmilla Mercier and Hortense Airault. She also conducts Le Cheval d’Ébène at the Festival des Athénéennes: a musical tale written by Keyvan Chemirani, blending the Western orchestral tradition with Persian folk music. Driven by a desire to explore new concert formats and interdisciplinary collaborations, she founded L’Étrange Ensemble, a collective dedicated to multidisciplinary projects bringing together contemporary, classical and pop music, theater, poetry, and staging.

She has also benefited from the teaching of renowned pedagogues such as Nicolas Pasquet, Johannes Schlaefli, Jorma Panula, Peter Eötvös, and Michael Schønwandt.

Between 2023 and 2025, she served as an assistant in the orchestral department and conducting class at the HEM, where she also taught an elective course in conducting. During this period, she was Artistic and Music Director of the University Orchestra of Geneva. In August 2023, she spent one month in Brazil with the social project NEOJIBA, conducting youth orchestras and teaching violin, reflecting her strong commitment to music education and outreach.

Passionate about opera, Judith has assisted several productions with the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève, including Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette (2023) and Massenet’s Werther (2025). She also conducted Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel in a production of the Haute École de Musique de Genève in april 2025. 

Alongside her conducting career, Judith is a founding member of the Quatuor MOMO, a string quartet dedicated to contemporary creation and interdisciplinary projects. The quartet has received several awards, including Third Prize at the Orpheus Competition 2024 and First Prize at Osez 2025, and develops original programs combining classical and modern repertoire, contemporary music, improvisation, and staging.
