Théo Ould

Théo Ould began his musical studies at the Marseille Conservatoire at age six. He recalls, “When I held the accordion for the first time, I was fascinated by both its sound and its design—an intriguing blend of a computer keyboard and a spaceship, a machine to explore in every sense of the word.” 

As the accordion’s repertoire, technique, and construction continue to evolve, Théo is part of a new generation shaping its future. Following in the footsteps of his teachers at the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP), he is deeply engaged in advancing the instrument’s place in classical music. As a soloist, he performs the works he loves—Bach, Haydn, and Mozart—without being confined by tradition. At the same time, he works with contemporary composers such as Régis Campo, Tomás Gubitsch, and Philippe Hersant to push the boundaries of the instrument’s repertoire. 

Equally passionate about opera and the UK rock scene, Théo seeks to reinvent the concert experience—not to dilute classical music, but to make it speak more vividly to today’s audiences. In 2023, he signed with Alpha Classics and released his debut solo album, Laterna Magica, a bold exploration of classical and electronic sounds that exemplifies his genre-defying artistic vision. 

With each project, Théo continues to redefine what the accordion can be—bridging tradition and innovation in a voice entirely his own.
