2021 ENCATC Fellowship Award

French pianist born in Mulhouse (Alsace), first trained on the Russian school by an heir to Heinrich Neuhaus, Professor Yuri Klempert, Emmanuelle Stéphan chose to continue her studies in the United States at the Juilliard School (New York), and in France at the Schola Cantorum (Paris) where she entered in 2016. She is a laureate of several international competitions including a 2nd prize in New York in 2017, rewarded with a concert in the mythical Carnegie Hall. In the same year, she made her debut recording for the label Warner Classics/Erato, of Francis Poulenc’s music alongside his only student, the great pianist Gabriel Tacchino. Already invited to various recognized festivals, the young performer sails with much ease in a diverse repertoire, from baroque to romantic as well as impressionist music.
