French violinist and composer. He was the son of Jean-Baptiste Sohier
and Marie-Joseph Hanot, sister of the violinist François Hanot. In March
1750 he played twice at the Concert Spirituel in Paris with ‘the
greatest success’; the Mercure de France mentioned that he was then
first violinist at the Concert de Lille. Sohier received a privilège
général dated 31 December 1749 and the next year published his Six
sonates à violon seul et basse continue op.1 in Paris. He published at
least two more sets of works: Simphonies à quatres parties op.2 (1751)
and Six sonates à deux violons op.4 (c.1752-54). There appears to be no
trace of an op.3. At the time of his death Sohier was organist at St
Pierre in Lille. He was called ‘l’aîné’ to distinguish him from a
younger brother, also a violinist, who was connected with the Théâtre de
Lille and who died in 1786.
