Aline Pilon started playing the hurdy-gurdy around the age of 12. At the time Aline was dancing in a folk group where she was able to learn the main standards of the Nivernais / Morvan / Berry / Bourbonnais repertoire. She immediately experienced the pleasure of playing for dancers, a pleasure that is still as intense today! Aline?s favourite group is T.O.G. (The Old Guard), playing bal and concert music.
