Emmanuelle Bertrand
A radiant and generous personality, Emmanuelle Bertrand is recognised as a leading figure in European cello playing. Trained at the Conservatoires Nationaux Supérieurs de Musique et de Danse in Lyon and Paris in the classes of Jean Deplace and Philippe Muller, and winner of numerous international awards and competitions, she was notably voted ‘Artist of the Year’ in France by Diapason magazine and France Musique listeners (2011), and three times winner of the Diapason d’Or award for her recordings released by Harmonia Mundi. In 2017 the Academy of Fine Arts awarded her the prestigious Simone and Cino Del Duca Interpretation Prize. She has received two Victoires de la Musique awards, ‘instrumental revelation’ in 2002, then ‘instrumental soloist of the year’ in 2022.

When she was 25, she met the composer Henri Dutilleux who spoke of her as a “real revelation”. Since then, she has been the dedicatee of works by Nicolas Bacri, Thierry Escaich, Édith Canat de Chizy, Bernard Cavanna, Janez Matičič, David Lampel, Pascal Amoyel and Benoît Menut. She also gave the world premiere of Luciano Berio’s Chanson pour Pierre Boulez.

It was during this period that she formed a duo with pianist Pascal Amoyel, her partner in life and on stage, with whom she fervently champions both forgotten works and the great repertoire.

She performs regularly as a soloist, notably with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal, the National Orchestra of Ukraine, the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the Busan Symphony Orchestra (Korea), the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, the Wuhan Symphony Orchestra (China), the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Orchestras of Ile de France, Lille and Lorraine, and the Philharmonic Orchestras of Strasbourg and Monte Carlo.

Passionate about the links between music and the word, she works in close collaboration with Laurent Terzieff on texts by Jean-Pierre Siméon. In 2005, she co-wrote and performed with Pascal Amoyel in Le Block 15 ou la Musique en résistance, directed by Jean Piat, based on the testimonies of musicians saved by music in the death camps. In 2011, she created Le violoncelle de guerre (The War Cello) in tribute to Maurice Maréchal and his cello, made a few steps from the trenches in 1915. She went on tour with this program until 2018 in turn with Didier Sandre, Christophe Malavoy, Francis Perrin, François Marthouret or Richard Bohringer. In 2020, Robin Renucci entrusted her with the role of Agafia in Oblomov by Gontcharov (Tréteaux de France), offering to link the roles of actress and musician.

She teaches chamber music and cello at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. In 2022, she became the first woman to be appointed professor of cello in the history of the institution, founded in 1795.

‘Emmanuelle Bertrand is one of the cellists who has impressed me the most (…) I appreciated the sensitivity and intelligence with which she conveyed the styles specific to each composer, highlighting their originality. I was immediately captivated by her interpretation, with its transparent sound, rhythmic precision, technical perfection and brilliant playing.’ – Henri Dutilleux

Pascal Amoyel
At the age of 10, when he began his piano studies at the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris (class of Marc André), he was quickly noticed by Georges Cziffra, whom he followed in France and Hungary. At 17, after a scientific baccalaureate, he decided to devote himself entirely to music. At the same time as his studies, he performed improvising in the cabarets of Montmartre. He obtained a concert license from the Ecole Normale de Paris, the First Prizes in Piano and Chamber Music at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris (class of Jacques Rouvier and Pascal Devoyon), became Laureate of the Menuhin and Cziffra Foundations, then won the First Prize at the International Competition of Young Pianists in Paris. He also receives advice from Daniel Blumenthal, Aldo Ciccolini, Lazar Berman, Maria Curcio, Véra Gornostaeva, Dominique Merlet, Déré N’Kaoua, Jacqueline Landowski, Lev Naoumov.

It was the start of an international career that led him to perform on the biggest stages: Berlin Philharmonie, Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam, Beaux-Arts Palace in Brussels, Cité de la Musique and Pleyel Hall in Paris, United States, Canada, Russia, China, Korea …

His recordings alone or with the cellist Emmanuelle Bertrand have obtained the highest awards: Gramophone, Cannes Classical Awards, ffff from Télérama, Diapason d’Or of the year, “Choc” from the world of Music, 10 from Classica, Grand Prix annual of German criticism …

Professor of piano and improvisation at the national Conservatory – CRR de Rueil-Malmaison, Pascal Amoyel also teaches at Sciences Po Paris and regularly gives master classes in France and abroad: Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, Domaine Forget in Canada, United States, Korea…

As a composer, Pascal Amoyel is laureate of the Banque Populaire Foundation. He is notably the author of the cycle Job, or God in turmoil and Letter to the beloved woman on the subject of death (on poems by Jean-Pierre Siméon).

He is also involved in the creation of new forms of concert: his show “Block 15”, or “Music in resistance” (directed by Jean Piat) has been described as “very pure and touching research” by the director Peter Brook and has been adapted for France Télévisions. He also wrote and created the only staged “The 50-Finger Pianist” or “the Incredible Destiny of György Cziffra”, “The Day I Met Franz Liszt”, and “Looking for Beethoven” (directed by Christian Fromont) which were performed at Ticket offices closed at the Avignon Festival and for several months at the Théâtre Le Ranelagh in Paris, as well as the family show “Une petite histoire de la grande musique”. As an actor, he collaborated and gave the answer to Jean Piat, Francis Huster and Brigitte Fossey. He created the Juniors Festival in which children are the actors, including those with disabilities, directs the Notes d’automne festival that he created, and is the productor of more than fifty creations (with Jean-Pierre Marielle, Barbara Hendricks, Natalie Dessay, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, Raphaël Enthoven, Mathieu Kassovitz, Richard Bohringer, Anne Roumanoff, Jacques Gamblin, Patrick Bruel…).

Pascal Amoyel is the author of the book “Si la musique tété contée” (midnight blue), and has produced a series of shows on France Culture entitled “Une histoire de la musique”.

First Grand Prix “Arts-Deux Magots” rewarding a musician with qualities of openness and generosity, Jean-Pierre Bloch de la Licra Prize for “the relationship to human rights in his work”, Gold Medal for outreach cultural heritage of the French Renaissance, he is the godfather of the APTE association, which provides music lessons to autistic children.

Pascal Amoyel was elevated to the ranks of Chevalier in the Order of Arts and Letters, and of Chevalier in the Order of Academic Palms.

Victoire de la Musique in 2005 in the “Instrumental Soloist Revelation of the Year” category, Pascal Amoyel was awarded a Grand Record Prize in Warsaw in 2010 by the prestigious Chopin Society for his complete Chopin Nocturnes alongside Martha Argerich and Nelson Freire. His interpretation of Liszt’s Funeral was also hailed as one of the historical references, and his Poetic and Religious Harmonies by Liszt voted among the 5 best recordings of 2007 by the Arte channel.
