Coline Richard studied at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne with José-Daniel Castellon, Julien Beaudiment, Magali Mosnier and Loïc Schneider. She graduated in 2017 with a Master of Arts. She then perfected her skills in the class of Pierre Dumail, principal piccolo at the Paris Opera.

Coline is passionate about orchestra and chamber music and during the Verbier Festival from 2017 to 2019, under the guidance of great conductors of the Festival Orchestra such as V. Gergiev, E-P. Salonen and Sir S. Rattle, she benefited from the equally valuable teaching of musicians from the Metropolitan Opera of New York.

She is regularly invited to play in French and Swiss orchestras such as the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.
