Emilie CALME is a french jazzflutist born in 1985.
She studied Classical flute at  Bordeaux Conservatory of Music and  learned jazz and latin style by performing as a side-woman in various projects.

In 2009 Emilie moved to Mumbai to learn Indian music with flute master  Hariprasaad Chaurasia. Deeply transformed by this beautiful and unique experience, she decided to keep on traveling and began her collaboration with Laurent Maur. Together they played in many venues in Europe. They created two projects "Duologie" (story in music without words) and "YOUPI 4tet" (original music for flute, harmonica, bass and drums to be released in april 2018).
Emilie also perfomed as a side-woman with "Sophisticated Ladies Jazz quartet" in California, with "Wax Taylor" in Colombia, and joined "Didier Ballan jazz ensemble" for his indian project.
