LAURIANNE CORNEILLE

"A pianist of astounding elegance" for Frédérick Casadesus, Laurianne Corneille is an artist who has inherited Russian teaching from her Master Evgeny Moguilevsky, whom she met at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where she graduated with a Master degree in interpretation and a Teaching Aggregation.

​

Since her rich years in Brussels, her eclecticism has pushed her as much to improvise at the Music Village with jazz musicians as to play on period instruments - since she was a pupil of the pianofortist Claire Chevallier.
She then played on rare instruments, such as the famous Pleyel double piano (with Cyril Huvé), and still works with today composers (Philippe Boesmans, Claude Ledoux, Karol Beffa, Isabelle Aboulker ...). She has performed on prestigious stages with renowned partners (Philippe Jaroussky, Dana Ciocarlie, Tristan Pfaff, Gabriel Pidoux, Odile Heimburger, Marielou Jacquard...) notably at Flagey, at the Musiq3 Festival, at Bozar, at the MIM in Brussels ; at the Festival 1001 notes in Limousin, at the Musicales de Normandie, at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, at the Musicales de la Route Cézanne; at the Rencontres Musicales de Coppet in Switzerland.

​

Very active in defending the repertoire of women composers, she is one of the most involved performers of the Festival. Un temps pour Elles created by Héloïse Luzzati.
Concerning the recordings, she works regularly for NomadMusic, and received a very good critical reception for her solo album Hermaphrodite devoted to Schumann. A sought-after chamber musician, she continues to make recordings, including an album entitled À la Nuit dedicated to Schubert and Schumann in trio formation (clarinet, soprano and piano) which appears in November on the Calliope label. Currently, she is preparing her next solo album while developing the Trio Corneille, born of an encounter with cellist Thibaut Reznicek and violinist Magdalena Geka.

​

By deploying the artistic arborescence of her personal projects related to synesthesia, she also develops her singular language through films directed by Raphaël Wertheimer.
A very active pedagogue, she teaches at the Jaroussky Academy located at the Seine Musicale and at the Vanves Conservatory and works as an editor for various webzines (Forumopera).
