Ever since moving to New-York City from his hometown Paris, France, composer and educator Yvonnick Prene has fast become one of the rising stars in the harmonica world. He has recorded with top Jazz artists like Chris Potter, Aaron Parks, Peter Bernstein and toured in the USA, Europe and Africa.
Yvonnick was already playing the harmonica professionally at the age of 17, in Parisian club scenes. He later earned a master’s degree in music at the Sorbonne University in Paris, in 2011 and while still enrolled, he moved to New-York City to receive multiple full-tuition scholarships at the City College of New York, Columbia University and at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.
Yvonnick is the founder of New York Harmonica School, author of 13 books, bandleader of the Yvonnick Prene quartet and Padam Swing. He is currently based in Manhattan, New York.
” Virtuoso Harmonica Player”
“Yvonnick Prene has proven his growing experience in leadership, writing and performing. He is the harmonica of the present and future”
“A rising Star...European jazz harmonica players aren't exactly a dime a dozen, but the Old Continent has birthed a few for the ages. Belgium gave unto jazz the legendary Toots Thielemans, Germany put forth vibes/harmonica doubling sensation Hendrik Meurkens, and the Swiss turned out Gregoire Maret; now, the French weigh in with the young Yvonnick Prene."
