Les Amateurs Virtuoses ! in Paris

From May 23, 2019 to May 26, 2019

The 24^th edition of Les Amateurs virtuoses piano festival took place in Paris from May 23^rd to 26^th, 2019, and gathered 30 artists under the artistic patronage of pianist Rena Shereshevskaya. We were lucky to welcome François Chaplin et Jean-Marc Luisada for the first time, to teach masterclasses. The audience was thrilled by both their level of expectation and their sense of humor.

For the second year in a row, the Off festival allowed a few selected pianists the chance to perform on our stage without having had to compete in international competitions for amateur pianists (which is a prerequisite for the In festival).

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the partners which made this parisian festival possible, in particular:

The Chambre des Notaires for hosting the festival and for the technical facilities it provided us with

Yamahafor bringing two wonderful concert pianos (handcraft series CF and S)

Pianos Nebout & Hamm for bringing a warm-up piano and for letting us rehearse in their showroom

Philomuses for letting us rehearse on its two concert grand pianos

Cabinet Coutot-Roehrig
