Bio

Virgile Goller Born in Toulouse in 1976. Accordionist, actor, trumpeter, choir director, composer, accompanist for silent films. After a youth immersed in popular music and song, practicing keyboard, guitar, and singing, Virgile Goller discovered the accordion at the age of 20. He tried the instrument and immediately knew it would be his instrument of choice, the one through which he could express himself in multiple ways. He trained with various teachers and “on the job” since, just two months after touching the instrument for the first time, he performed on stage in a cabaret featuring texts by Boris Vian. He then joined various musical ensembles and theater and circus companies (Arène Théâtre, Place de Brouckère, Les petites d’en face, Salam Toto, Humani Théâtre…). A composer curious about everything and a passionate improviser, he draws inspiration from encounters and exchanges with both old friends and complete strangers around songs and world music, which he freely transforms, as seen in his participation in the group Les Madeleines since 2001. Since 2003, he has accompanied all sorts of silent films in a wide variety of eclectic venues. A regular performer in wild halls or peaceful boudoirs, in unconventional places buzzing with the hum of celebration or in small, intimate rooms, he sings and plays solo, in duos, trios, and since 2018, as part of an accordion sextet in the show Ça va valser, produced by the company Les Rustines de l’Ange. At the same time, he discovered, at the Perpignan Conservatory (where he took trumpet and jazz improvisation classes), another type of accordion: the classical accordion. To further broaden his horizons, he began learning this new instrument and incorporated it into his work as a performer and composer. Since 2021, he has been teaching at the Thuir Music School (66).
