Winner of the “Artists International” competition in New York, the Maurice Ravel prize and First Prize at the Festival des Arcs competition in 1996, Eric Crambes began playing the violin at the age of six using the Suzuki method. Thanks to a scholarship from the Fondation de France, he continued his studies in London, where he entered the Yehudi Menuhin school. His musical studies then led him to the Ecole Supérieure des Bows in Sion (Switzerland), where he worked with Tibor Varga, then to the Juilliard School in New York where he studied violin with Dorothy DeLay for five years, chamber music with the Juilliard Quartet and conducting with Allan Kay. He is for two years assistant to Dorothy DeLay for the “Pre-College Division” of the Juilliard School. At the same time, he obtained a 3rd cycle in violin and a 3rd cycle in chamber music at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Lyon and benefited from the expert advice of Gérard Poulet and Roland Daugareil. His studies were made possible by the support of the Lyon Entreprises Virtuoses association.
