After studying at the Conservatoire de Rayonnement Régional in Limoges and winning the Prix d’Honneur of the Royaume de la Musique competition (1993), Antoine Dreyfuss entered André Cazalet’s class at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique (CNSM) de Paris in 1994. He was awarded a Premier Prix by unanimous decision of the jury in 1998, alongside a Premier Prix in chamber music in the class of Jens McManama.

In the same year, he became principal horn of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. He also pursues a career in chamber music as a member of the Turbulences brass quintet and the Sextuor Alfred de Vigny (natural horn sextet), having previously played in the Ensemble à Vent Paris-Bastille. He appears regularly in France and abroad, in such venues as the Berlin Philharmonie, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Wigmore Hall, the Auditorium du Louvre and the Villa Medici. Having taught at the CNSM de Lyon from 2013 to 2018, he now devotes himself exclusively to his vocation as a performer. He takes a keen interest in contemporary music and has participated in numerous premiere performances, notably with the ensembles L’Itinéraire and Court-Circuit. He is also a passionate exponent of period instruments, playing with La Chambre Philharmonique (Emmanuel Krivine), the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées (Philippe Herreweghe) and Les Dissonances (David Grimal).
