Eric Ferrand-N`Kaoua (Piano)

French pianist Eric Ferrand-N’Kaoua was born near Paris in 1963 and spent his early childhood in Grenoble in the French Alps. He soon entered the Paris Conservatoire Supйrieur, where he obtained first prize with distinction in piano when aged only fourteen.

A finalist and prize-winner at the Clara Haskil and Santander Competitions, he was invited to appear at the Yokohama Piano Festival before he was twenty years old and was subsequently engaged as a soloist by several Japanese orchestras such as the New Japan Philharmonic.

Collaborations with musicians from the former Soviet Union, such as the USSR State Symphony Orchestra under Vladimir Kozhukhar in 1988 and the Moscow Soloists under Yuri Bashmet, later allowed him to perform on several occasions in Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Kiev. Critics have often praised his natural sense of phrasing and colour, as well as his ability to bring the music rather than himself to the foreground.

In search of musical truth along sometimes unusual paths, he is not afraid to blend Stravinsky and jazz-inspired pieces in the same programme. The great jazz pianist and composer Martial Solal also entrusted him with being the soloist of his unpublished concerto Йchanges, mixing written and improvised sections as well as for recording a CD of his works featuring several world premieres.

Eric Ferrand-N’Kaoua is also an avid chamber music performer. His partners include several famous violinists such as Pierre Amoyal, Valeriy Sokolov and Gilles Apap, with whom he forms an unconventional duo. With soloists from the Ensemble of Corsica he formed a piano and strings sextet, allowing him to play “pocket orchestra” versions of various concerti.

Eric Ferrand-N’Kaoua has performed at such prestigious concert venues as the Theвtre du Chвtelet in Paris and Wigmore Hall in London. He has recorded the Liszt Sonata, a recital of French music and a Bach CD featuring the Goldberg Variations, and has premiered works by Thierry Lancino and Nicolas Bacri. Frequently invited by the Berlioz Festival in the composer’s hometown near Grenoble, he has also become a regular guest of the Miami International Piano Festival.
