Lately, he has also explored very different repertoire of French melodies accompanied by the pianist Jerôme Ducros. He has recently proposed his own vision of Berlioz' Les Nuits d'Été with performances at the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid and at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.

Increasingly captivated by contemporary works, Jaroussky performed a song cycle composed by Marc André Dalbavie from the sonnets of Louise Labbé. He premiered the opera Only the Sound remains of Kaija Saariaho, specifically written for his voice, at Nederlande Opera Ballet in Amsterdam in March 2016.

Philippe Jaroussky has had the pleasure of collaborating with some of the best baroque ensembles such as Concerto Köln, l’Ensemble Matheus, Les Arts Florissants, Les Musiciens du Louvre-Grenoble, Orfeo 55, Le Concert d’Astrée, L’Arpeggiata, Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, Europa Galante, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, I Barocchisti, Freiburger Barockorchester, Appolo’s Fire, Anima Eterna or the Venice Baroque Orchestra. He has performed to high acclaim in the most prestigious festivals and concert halls around the world.

In 2002 he founded l'Ensemble Artaserse, which currently performs throughout Europe.

In January 2017, Philippe Jaroussky inaugurated the new Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, where he was invited as the first artist in residence. 2019-2020 season marked his 20-years career with some major events such as the entrance of his statue to the Musée Grévin in Paris, the publication of the biographical book “Seule la musique compte” and finally the release of a disc anthology “Passion Philippe Jaroussky”.

March 2021 saw Philippe Jaroussky's debut as conductor at the head of his Artaserse ensemble, with no singing, with the production of Scarlatti's oratorio, Primo Omicidio. This programme is performed among others at Salzburg Festival and at Montpellier Opera, which will become the residence of Philippe and his ensemble Artaserse for the next three seasons.

2022 confirms this new activity as conductor, with numerous concerts in Paris, Lyon, Montpellier, Budapest, at Épau and Halle Festivals.

At end of May and beginning of June 2022, in Paris and Montpellier, Philippe conducted his first opera in the pit, Händel’s Giulio Cesare with a superlative singers cast: Sabine Devielhe, Gaëlle Arquez, Franco Fagioli, Carlo Vistoli, Lucile Richardot.

During 2022-23 season, Philippe Jaroussky will conduct the stage production of Sartorio’s Orfeo at Montpellier Opera. At the opera again, he will perform the role of Ruggiero in the production of Alcina by Händel alongside Cecilia Bartoli in Monte-Carlo. In addition, Philippe will be in recital across the Atlantic with guitarist Thibaut Garcia at Cervantino Festival in Guanajuato and at Bellas Artes in Mexico City, with Les Violons du Roy and Marie-Nicole Lemieux in Montreal and Québec. He will join his Artaserse ensemble for concerts in Boston, San Diego and Toronto, and will finally be with Arpeggiata and Christina Pluhar at Carnegie Hall in New York, Philharmonie Berlin, Historischer Reitstadel Neumarkt and Isarphilharmonie München.

Philippe Jaroussky has been an exclusive artist with Erato-Warner Classics for many years. He received many awards for his outstanding discography and has thus set new standards for countertenors.

In October 2021, Philippe Jaroussky released his latest album “À sa guitare” – together with guitarist Thibaut Garcia. The album is named a song by the 20th century French composer Francis Poulenc. But its frame of reference is extraordinarily wide – both culturally and stylistically. Its 22 tracks range across 400 years and music by composers and songwriters from France, Britain, Austria, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and the USA.

In March 2017, a project dear to his heart came to fruition: the Academy Philippe Jaroussky. The Academy is intended to support young musicians suffering of cultural isolation, through an original, extensive and demanding teaching. The Academy is housed by La Seine Musicale.

He was appointed Officier des Arts et des Lettres by the French government.
