On his return to France he became principal bass clarinet in the Pasdeloup Orchestra in Paris, whilst also appearing regularly with Paris Opera, Orchestre de Paris, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra. As an orchestral musician, he has played under great conductors including Georges Pretre, Armin Jordan, Pierre Boulez, Emmanuel Krivine, Sir Georg Solti, Carlo Maria Giulini, Sir Charles Mackerras, Semyon Bichkov, Franz Welser-Möst and Lorin Maazel. Since 1998 Yann has been the principal clarinet in the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra with which he regularly performs and records as a soloist. He is regularly invited as guest principal with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic, Northern Symphonia, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the Philharmonia Orchestra and The Cleveland Orchestra.
