She has taken part in many premières and recordings, including Gérard Pesson’s Forever Valley, Pascal Dusapins’s Momo, Claudio Gabriele’s Ai confine dell’ oscurità, Veillée and Georges Aperghis’ Le Petit Chaperon Rouge

Aside from chamber music and contemporary music, Fanny pursues research into early music interpretation on original instruments. She is a member - playing violin and viola - of the Concert Spirituel (Hervé Niquet), the English Baroque Soloists and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique (John Eliot Gardiner), the Concert Brisé (William Dongois), Les Ambassadeurs (Alexis Kossenko), Pygmalion (Raphaël Pichon), the Amarillis ensemble, with whom she travels the world, taking part in numerous recordings.

In 2002 she founded the Anpapié string trio with violinist Alice Piérot and cellist Elena Andreyev, which is devoted specifically to Classical repertoire (2011 recording of the trios of Hyacinth Jadin for the ‘La Courroie’ label).
