Known for unique interpretations of classical works, French pianist Hélène Grimaud will perform masterworks by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms. Accepted at age 13 into the Paris Conservatoire, Grimaud won first prize in piano performance there just three years later. In 1987, she was invited by Daniel Barenboim to perform with the Orchestre de Paris, marking the launch of her musical career. An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon recording artist, her recordings have earned her the Cannes Classical Recording of the Year, Choc du Monde de la musique, Diapason d’or, Grand Prix du disque, and the Echo Klassik Award. Her most recent recordings, released in 2023, are “Silent Songs” and “For Clara.”
