Paul-Marie began playing the cello at the age of 6 at the Saint-Cloud Conservatoire under the guidance of Thérèse Pollet.

He then enrolled at the Boulogne-Billancourt Regional Conservatoire in 2008 in Pascale Michaca’s class, before joining Xavier Gagnepain’s class, where he developed a deep love for chamber music. 

After a year of advanced study with Cyrille Lacrouts, he was unanimously admitted to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris (CNSMDP) in Jérôme Pernoo’s class, where he performed as a soloist and as part of a cello ensemble in several international venues (Salle Cortot, Radio France, the National Library Arts Centre of Beijing, etc.).

In 2018, he won the “Tremplin” international competition and joined the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra Academy in 2019. For the past few years, Paul-Marie has been performing regularly with his piano partner Ionah Maiatsky, with whom he obtained a bachelor’s degree in chamber music in 2020 at the CNSMDP, and with whom he subsequently began a master’s degree in chamber music under the guidance of several mentors, including Claire Désert, Itamar Golan, Jonas Vitaud, the Ébène Quartet and François Salque. He completed his cello studies at the Conservatoire with distinction and joined the Orchestre de Paris in 2021.
