Jeremie Legrand specialises in the making of violins, violas, and cellos. He currently works in Cork. He started playing the violin at the age of 5, taking lessons at the Conservatoire for the duration of his studies, and has continued to play since.
From a young age, Jeremie has been fascinated with the art of violin making, and consequently studied at Mirecourt from the age of 15. After 5 years he obtained a diploma in Violin Making, with Honours. He continued his career by working for both Irish and Parisian luthiers and in 1997 moved to Cork to establish his own workshop.
His relationships with musicians such as Stephanie Gonley and Ofer Falk, leader of the English Chamber Orchestra, Jeremy Isaacs from the Tippet quartet, the RTE Vanbrugh Quartet, Katherine Hunka leader of the ICO, Harriett Mackenzie, and Nigel Kennedy have allowed him to acquire an understanding of the specific needs of individual musicians.
He has been published on numerous occasions, notably in 2012 for Strad Magazine.
