Plicque-Andréani's grandfather, Samuel Alexandre Rousseau (1853–1904), was the winner of the second Premier Grand Prix de Rome for musical composition in 1878 and professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire from 1898 until his death in office in 1904. Marcel Samuel-Rousseau (1882–1955), Samuel Rousseau's son, was also the winner of the second Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1905 and professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire from 1919 until his retirement in 1952.{{cite book|last=Bongrain|first=Anne|title=Le Conservatoire national de musique et de déclamation, 1900–1930 : documents historiques et administratifs|trans-title=The National Conservatory of Music and Declamation, 1900–1930: historical and administrative documents|location=Paris|publisher=Vrin|date=2012|isbn=978-2-7116-2398-3|OCLC=773015941}}

From February 1951 to April 1954, Plicque-Andréani was a resident and some-time pensionnaire at the French Academy in Rome at the Villa Medici. During her stay, she composed, among other things, melodies, symphonic suites and an oratorio.{{sfn|Bertho-Woolliams|2019|p=103}}

In 1969, Plicque-Andréani participated in the founding of the Music department of the {{ill|Centre universitaire de Vincennes|lt=Centre universitaire expérimentale de Vincennes|fr}}. She subsequently became an assistant professor and then a professor at the same university, teaching harmony and composition and supervising numerous theses.{{harvnb|Bertho-Woolliams|2019|p=145}} Unlike most of the winners of the Prix de Rome, she was never a professor at the Paris Conservatoire, but had a brilliant academic career. She was successively director of the UFR Arts, Philosophie, Esthétique from 1986 to 1990, then vice-president of the Université Paris-VIII from 1993 to 1997. She was named a knight in the order of the Légion d'honneur in 1997.{{cite web |title=Article - Décret du 31 décembre 1997 portant promotion et nomination |trans-title=Article – Decree of December 31, 1997 on promotion and appointment |url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/article_jo/JORFARTI000001345042 |website=www.legifrance.gouv.fr |access-date=11 December 2024}} [https://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.legifrance.gouv.fr%2Fjorf%2Farticle_jo%2FJORFARTI000001345042 archive] She retired in 1998.
