Ever curious and attracted to music from a very early age, Jules Stella discovered the violin through Irish folk music, and it was there that his passion for the instrument was born. He began his studies at the Thionville conservatory and, after several years of advanced classes at the conservatories of Nancy and Boulogne-Billancourt, obtained a master’s degree at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris under Jean-Marc Phillips-Varjabedian, with whom he studied for five years. He met many violinists, including Gérard Poulet, Jacques Ghestem, Svetlin Roussev and David Grimal. An avid chamber musician, his studies include a specific focus on the piano trio, and for many years now he has been playing in a duo with his brother, Ugo Stella. His projects have led him to play regularly in various orchestras and other ensembles, to take part in the creation of interdisciplinary shows, and to perform as a soloist. Since September 2024, Jules Stella has been a member of the Luxembourg Philharmonic Academy.
