Tanina LAOUES began singing with Opéra Junior in Montpellier. She had the opportunity to sing in various stage productions at the Montpellier Opera as well as at the Aix-en-Provence Festival under the direction of Sir Simon Rattle.
She continued her vocal training at the Montpellier Conservatoire with Léa Pasquel and Anne-Lise Dodelier, and worked with Christophe Larrieu, conductor at the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse.
In 2019 and 2020, she will sing der erste Knabe (the first boy) in Mozart's The Magic Flute at the Opéra d'Avignon and the Opéra Royal de Versailles, conducted by Hervé Niquet.
Tanina Laoues enriched her vocal technique and artistic understanding by taking part in master classes with François Le Roux, Karine Deshayes and Jeanne Piland, notably at the Académie lyrique Toulouse Occitanie. In 2024, she obtained her Diplôme d'Études Musicales in opera singing, with honours. She joined the Pôle des Arts Baroques de Toulouse to perfect her knowledge of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music.
Alongside her musical career, she continued her studies in health, obtaining a Doctorate in Pharmacy in 2025.

Guillaume MARIONNEAU has studied with organists such as Abel Gaborit, Olivier Vernet, Dominique Ferran and Didier Ledoux. In 1999, he was appointed titular organist at Luçon Cathedral.
Music teaching has always been a major part of his activities, and he has taught organ at the conservatoire in Challans and directed the Académie des jeunes organistes de Vendée in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre. He currently teaches organ, piano, musical culture and musical training at the Sud-Vendée-Littoral music school.
As a concert performer, he takes part in numerous concerts and devotes part of his time to accompanying choirs on organ, piano and harmonium, as well as to improvisation.
In 2020, he recorded a CD on the organ of Luçon cathedral entitled De Paris à Luçon, genèse d'un grand Cavaillé-Coll, featuring works by Mendelssohn, Bach, Franck, Lemmens and Waitzennecker. In the same year, a recital at the St Petersburg Capella enabled him to highlight the many links forged since the early 20th century between Russian composers and Abbé Joseph Joubert, one of his predecessors at the cathedral.
