The pianist Pascal Amoyel performs on some of the world’s greatest stages: the Berlin Philharmonie, the Paris Philharmonie, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées…
A winner of the Victoire de la Musique Classique, he was honored in 2010 in Warsaw by the prestigious Chopin Society for his complete recording of Chopin’s Nocturnes, alongside Martha Argerich and Nelson Freire. He has recorded around twenty albums, either solo or in duo with cellist Emmanuelle Bertrand, which have received the highest distinctions: Cannes Classical Award, Gramophone, Diapason d’Or de l’année, Choc du Monde de la Musique… He is deeply committed to creating new forms of concerts: he is the author of numerous musical shows (centered on Beethoven, Liszt, or Chopin) that ran to sold-out audiences for several months at the Grand Théâtre Montparnasse in Paris and at the Avignon Festival.
As a composer, he is notably the author of the cycle Job, or God in the Tempest, and is a laureate of the Banque Populaire Foundation. He is also the author of the book A Little Story of Great Music, and has produced several programs for France Culture.
A professor of piano and improvisation at Sciences Po Paris and at the Rueil-Malmaison Regional Conservatory, he is regularly invited to give masterclasses (Paris Conservatoire CNSM, Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, Folle Journée in Tokyo, Seoul University…), and directs the musical and literary festival Notes d’automne, which he created and for which he has commissioned around sixty new works.
He has been named Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters, Chevalier of the Order of Academic Palms, and Chevalier of the National Order of Merit
