For years now the Concours International de piano d'Orleans is the time and the place of piano excellency and repertoire boldness. There we can hear the great works of the twentieth century and contemporary treasures. That's what the young Maroussia Gentet does with this first album published by B Records, invoking every natural strength, from the lightest pianissimo to the most telluric furioso. Maroussia Gentet was winner of the "Blanche Selva" First Prize at the 13th International Piano Competition in Orleans. Following studies at the CNSMD in her hometown of Lyon, she attended classes at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris- Alfred Cortot, where she obtained her concert performer diploma in 2015. She went on to study Contemporary Repertoire and Creation, as well as Vocal Accompaniment. She is passionate about sharing her art and thrives in her collaborations with composers, in teaching young people, and of course on stage playing chamber music as well as within multidisciplinary projects.
