<Music will be a way to be in the world, to stick to it, to say your word. As a result, everything gives way to him, especially the practice of sports, which until then had been intensive, and of which he keeps a taste for effort and a fighting spirit. With Homeric energy, Vincent Beer-Demander devours the entire repertoire and hones his technique with Florentino Calvo. The master opened the doors of his class at the National School of Argenteuil, the Mecca of mandolin in France, while at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, Alberto Ponce accompanied him to the prestigious concert license that had never been awarded to a mandolin player before.

<Those who frequent the young musician feel the urgency of a vocation to which everything submits. From then on, life accelerates and intensifies: the first prizes pile up – seven in four years – the taste for the stage is confirmed, the stature of the concert performer imposes itself through the tours that follow, punctuated by commissions and creations, collaborations all around the world. In a career spanning twenty years, we can no longer count the number of decisive events that Vincent Beer-Demander has brought, both in France and abroad, to give his instrument a future. Settled in Marseille, he created, like his old mentor from Toulouse, a popular academy in the neighborhoods as well as a class at the Conservatoire de Marseille and the Conservatoire Royal der Liège for higher education, careful that the repertoire he created is transmitted and that the practice of the mandolin, deeply renewed, is anchored in the musical life.
