French soprano and harpist (born 1946)

Esther Lamandier is a French soprano and harpist known for explorations in early chant and monodic music. She is known to frequently accompany herself on the harp, vielle or portative organ (for example in her cd 'Cantigas de Santa Maria').

Lamandier was born in 1946 in Saint-Raphaël, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France; her father's family is Jewish, from Piatra Neamț in Romania. She is a specialist in both Assyrian and Sephardic Jewish song, and the Hebrew biblical chant transcriptions of Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura.
