Violinist looking for residency

Bonjour, Hello!

I am a violinist (with a recently gained bachelor of music) and visual artist from Montana, USA. I will soon start studying in 5ème Division of music performance for the violin at the École Normale de Musique de Paris, but I have not yet found a place to stay. I am hoping for a temporary place to sleep, practice if possible, and paint in Paris while I continue to look for an appartment. I am fluent in French and love sharing meals and learning about the lives and cultures of others.

Propositions artistiques en échange de la résidence (oeuvres, cours, ateliers, dîner, concert...) : In exchange for the residence, I propose original art (see examples of my work at https://www.facebook.com/kelaiah.horat.art/), a private concert, violin lessons, and/or homemade food as I love to cook. Any combination of the above sera avec grande plaisir. :)
Description environment are you looking for ( nature, urban, other…) : I am seeking any place in Paris that is within 45 minutes of commute to the 17ème Arrondissement.
Describe your projects for a residence : I have a primary project of continuing my classical violin studies at the École Normale de Musique de Paris, but I also hope to be participating in jazz ensembles, folk groups, and collaborations with poets. Aside from that, I am constantly creating visual art and have a current project of "portraits du métro" in which I sketch strangers on the subway in a surrealistic manner, as an inquiry into how we treat the people we cross on a daily basis yet with whom do not truly interact. This will explore the fragillity of humans and human relations.
Description of the type of workspace needed (office, studio, rehearsal space…) : I need a place to sleep, preferably a private room in order to enable peaceful practice.

    Ladies Balakai Searching Collaborations
    Music - La Baussaine (France) - 05/05/2025

    Ladies Balakai est un duo musical né de la rencontre improbable mais parfaite entre Fiona Mclaughlin, flûtiste anglaise, et Déborah Colucci, harpiste française. Tout commence simplement : Tout droit arrivée d’outre Manche, Fiona trouve Déborah sur les réseaux, lui offre une cup of tee et des gâteaux, le coup de foudre est immédiat. De cette alchimie naît un univers musical unique, où les influences néo-classiques rencontrent les rythmes envoûtants des Balkans, créant des compositions vibrantes et profondément originales. Mais Ladies Balakai ne s'arrête pas là. Le duo s’ouvre à un projet ambitieux : partir à la rencontre de femmes musiciennes à travers le monde. Ensemble, elles uniront leurs sensibilités et leurs cultures musicales pour créer des œuvres inédites, tout en mettant en lumière la place essentielle des femmes dans le milieu musical professionnel. Ladies Balakai, c’est bien plus qu’un duo. C’est une aventure humaine et artistique, une célébration de la diversité et de la création collective, portée par deux artistes visionnaires et féministes déterminées à réinventer les frontières musicales. English translation - Ladies Balakai is a musical duo born from the unexpected yet perfect encounter between Fiona Mclaughlin, an English flutist, and Déborah Colucci, a French harpist. It all started simply: Fiona, fresh from across the Channel, found Déborah online, invited her for tea and cake, and the chemistry was instant. From this spark emerged a unique musical universe where neo-classical influences meet the enchanting rhythms of the Balkans, creating vibrant and deeply original compositions. But Ladies Balakai goes further. The duo embarks on an ambitious journey to connect with female musicians worldwide. Together, they will blend their musical sensitivities and cultures to craft new works, while highlighting the essential role of women in the professional music world. Ladies Balakai is more than a duo. It is a human and artistic adventure, a celebration of diversity and collective creativity, driven by two visionary and feminist artists determined to reinvent musical boundaries.

    Hello, my name is Julien. I am a multidisciplinary artist living in Berlin. As a musician, I produce music between electronic space Pop, modern chanson and cinematic easy listening. I sing, play guitar and other instruments, compose, arrange, produce and do the cover artwork I have released 5 album and played in several bands. As a photographer, I specialise in timeless, experimental portraits and abstract textures in nature. I have recently discovered cyanotype, an experimental printing technique that allows me to add unexpected textures to my photoprints and do analogue photo montages In parallel, my abstract drawings explore meditation, form and emotion through layered textures and organic shapes, Together my creations form a cohesive yet boundary-pushing artistic practice.
