Alix Boivert debuted on the modern violin at the age of five, in the Pierre Rode school of Robert Papavrami in Gradignan (Gironde). As a student of the same school he participated in a masterclass of Yehudi Menuhin and made a lot of concerts in France, but also Germany and Spain.
In 2002 he enters the Conservatory Jacques Thibaut of Bordeaux, in the class of Jean-Luc Fort under the guidance of whom he will obtain his CFEM on the modern violin, two years later. At the same time he begins his studies on the harpsichord with Aurelien Delage and also on the baroque violin with Guillame Rebinguet-Sudre.
In 2009 he begins his studies at the National Superior Conservatory of Lyon in the class of Odile Elouard, and he obtains, five years later, his Master with the highest distinction. His studies included collaborations with Chiara Banchini, Patrick Ayrton and Alessandro Moccia.He also participated in numerous workshops and master classes among others with Enrico Gatti, Hélène Schmitt, Enrico Onofri, Amandine Beyer, Francois Fernandez and Susanne Scholz.
His meeting with Hélène Schmitt influenced greatly his interpretation of baroque repertoire and the technical apprehension of violin.

He was a member of the Academy of Early Music of Périgord Noir in 2009 performing The Fairy Queen of Henry Purcell and also in 2010 performing the solo violin part in Rameau’s Les Indes Galantes.
He was selected in 2013 to take part in the Orchestre Français des Jeunes Baroque (OFJ) under the guidance of Christophe Coin, as well as for the European Academy of the Aix en Provence Festival 2014 (Production Trauernacht direction: Raphaël Pichon).

He also performs regularly with ensembles like Pygmalion, Sagittarius, Zais, Luceram, La Chapelle Rhénane, Les Temps présents, Unisoni, L'Ensemble Baroque Atlantique, Le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu and others.
Fascinated by the classical repertoire, he had the opportunity to explore it on historical
instruments as the viola player of Quatuor Baillot, led by Hélène Schmitt.

He makes his first professional recording with L'Ensemble Baroque Atlantique in 2013( label L'encelade), as a soloist in the concerto BWV 1064 of Johann-Sebastian Bach.

He is the founding member of the traditional Irish music group Daghda together with three other musicians. They frequently perform in France and also numerous times with the known violinist Gilles Apap.
He also founded the ensemble The Curious Bards, to discover and perform the compositions and publications of Irish and Scottish traditional and art music of the XVIIIth century.

Since 2008 Alix performs on an original french baroque instrument from 1760, made by Nicolas Lambert.
