Antonio Bonnet, Piano Recital

Born in 2001 on World Music Day, Antonin Bonnet is regularly invited to perform as a soloist and chamber musician on some of the most prestigious stages in France, including the Festival de la Roque d’Anthéron, the Festival de la Chaise Dieu, the Auditorium de la Seine Musicale, the Folle Journée de Nantes, the National Archives, the Salle Cortot, and many others, as well as abroad (Barcelona, ​​Budapest, Belgrade, Ljubljana, Rome, Vienna, Vilnius, Tokyo, etc.).

A laureate of numerous international piano and chamber music competitions in Paris, Rome, and Vilnius, among others (Carles and Sofia, Premio Annarosa Taddei, Stasys Vainiūnas, etc.), Antonin recently won the "Support for Young Artists" competition at the Vexin Festival, which will allow him to record a promotional album dedicated to Chopin, Fauré, and Ravel in June 2024.

Admitted unanimously at the age of 16 to the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMDP), Antonin obtained his Bachelor's and then his Master's degree there in the class of Denis Pascal, and is currently pursuing an Artist Diploma in Performance at the same institution.

Initially trained by Frédérique Lagarde, he then studied with Romain Descharmes at the Regional Conservatoire (CRR) of Paris, where he received his diploma with honors from the jury.

Eager to create historically informed interpretations, Antonin studied the fortepiano at the CNSM with Daria Fadeeva and participated in the "Sounds and Colors of Chopin" masterclass cycle with Yves Henri. A guest artist at the Villecroze Academy in 2019 and 2022, as well as at the Encuentro de Musica y Academia de Santander in 2023, Antonin has honed his skills with renowned musicians, including Avedis Kouyoumdjian, Blandine Dumay, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, Stanislav Ioudenitch, Till Fellner, and the members of the Trio Wanderer.

Antonin was part of the Debussy class (2022-2023) at the Philippe Jaroussky Academy, where he notably benefited from the guidance of Cédric Tiberghien.

Passionate about chamber music, Antonin has had the honor of sharing the stage with artists such as Lise Berthaud, Olivier Charlier, Pierre Fouchenneret, Calogero Palermo, and Nemanja Radulovic, and performs regularly with violinist Iris Scialom and cellist Krzysztof Michalski.

The Duo Arborescence, which he founded with Iris Scialom, "imparts a wonderful poetic thrill to the music" (Alain Cochard, Concertclassic). Currently in their final year of a Master's degree in chamber music at the CNSMDP in the classes of Claire Désert and François Salque, they were Ensemble in Residence at the 2023 La Roque d'Anthéron Festival. The Duo is a laureate of the Villecroze Music Academy and will record their debut album dedicated to Fauré, Ravel, and Enesco with the Scala Music label in October 2024.
