Patrick Bismuth (born 15 December 1954) is a French classical violinist and conductor.
Bismuth studied the violin with Roland Charmy at the Conservatoire de Paris.
Learning the baroque violin allows him to interpret differently classical, romantic and contemporary repertoires.
He has performed in numerous concerts with his ensemble "La Tempesta" and the Atlantis Quartet,[1] of which he is co-founder and also with the organist Louis Thiry, who opened up the horizon of early music to him.
Under the title "Musique dans la cité interdite" he took part with the "Ensemble XVIII-21" of flutist Jean-Christophe Frisch, to the recording of music from the imperial court of China in the 18th century, and also pieces by Teodorico Pedrini and Joseph-Marie Amiot.
