A multidisciplinary artist, Saskia Salembier has built up a solid musical training as a violinist and opera singer: she took her first musical steps at the Annecy Conservatoire. She then went on to study opera singing in Gilles Cachemaille's class at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève, before perfecting her Baroque singing at the Pôle Supérieur Paris-Boulogne with Howard Crook and Isabelle Poulenard, and at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Rosa Dominguez. At the same time, she continued her baroque violin studies with Patrick Bismüth, and joined François Fernandez's class at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. She also studied literature in preparatory classes and musicology at the University of Paris-Sorbonne. Passionate about learning the voice, she is now a full professor of lyric and baroque singing at the Conservatoire de Nanterre.

A specialist in early music, Saskia Salembier performs as a baroque violinist and solo singer under the direction of Jean Tubéry, Gabriel Garrido, Hugo Reyne, Paul Agnew, Franck-Emmanuel Comte, Jean-Christophe Spinosi, Christophe Rousset and Sigiswald Kuijken. She is a regular guest with ensembles such as Elyma, Faenza, La Simphonie du Marais, Le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu and La Fenice.

She has recently appeared as soloist at the Philharmonie de Paris, the Salle Gaveau, the festivals of Uzès, Torroella de Montgri, Brou, Utrecht, Royaumont and Sinfonia en Périgord... She has performed the roles of Poppea, Musica, Euridice, Proserpina (Monteverdi), Medea (Cavalli), Alceste (Lully), Proserpine (Charpentier), Phèdre (Rameau), Colette (Rousseau), Orphée (Gluck), Carmen (Bizet)...

Open to a wide range of repertoires and deeply involved in stage and body work, she is increasingly in demand as a stage director, as in Orphée by Gluck, 2015; La Figure by Leos Janacek, 2016; Il Giasone by Cavalli, 2017; Le Carnaval by Lully, 2018. Since 2006, she has also directed the vocal and instrumental ensemble Opalescences, which specialises in early music.
