Happy birthday Marielle Nordmann !

For the benefit of «Coup de pouce humanitaire» and «Notes en Couleurs»
Almost 80 years old, Marielle Nordmann still conceives her concerts as a meeting. She is a celebrated harpist, her charm and grace make the joy of thousands of music lovers around the world. But its originality is elsewhere: this great "professional" forgets, when she plays, the implacable regularity of her metronome to follow the beat of her heart. Come to wish her a happy birthday.

EL AMOR Y LA MUERTE

Acclaimed French pianist with Mexican and Lebanese background, Simon Ghraichy is renowned for his unique personal style defined with rich, diverse cultural influences. He is appreciated by peers for his irreproachable virtuosity and remarkable artistic taste, as well as by less experienced listeners for his uninhibited personality and charisma. 

With her multi-faceted playing described as “dazzling”, Valentina Lisitsa is at ease in a vast repertoire ranging from Prokofiev to Rachmaninov.

Charismatic!

Denis Matsuev’s impeccable playing is captivating. For the launch of the piano recital season, he presents a program dedicated to Haydn and Schubert Sonatas then to Chopin and Stravinsky pieces.

With his extraordinary pianistic talents, Fazıl Say has been touching audiences and critics alike for more than twenty-five years, in a way that has become rare in the increasingly materialistic and elaborately organized classical music world. Concerts with this artist are something different. They are more direct, more open, more exciting, they go straight to the heart. Bach’s Goldberg Variations are surely the steepest challenge for any pianist and a pure joy for Fazil Say. 

With his distinctive combination of integrity, unique style, surpassing linguistic expressiveness, deep musical insight and assured artistic instinct paired with his charismatic and captivating personality, Christian Zacharias has made a name for himself not only as one of the world’s leading pianists, but also as a musical thinker. He will perform Schubert and Beethoven’s sonatas.
