Yves Henry

Yves Henry is a French pianist and composer deeply committed to the Romantic repertoire, particularly the works of Frédéric Chopin. A renowned interpreter of Chopin, he has recorded the composer's complete works multiple times, including acclaimed versions of the mazurkas, waltzes, and nocturnes. His recordings often explore specific themes or periods in Chopin's life, such as his time spent at Nohant with George Sand. Beyond Chopin, Henry's repertoire extends to other Romantic composers like Liszt and Schumann, and he also champions lesser-known French composers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Beyond his performing career, Henry is a dedicated pedagogue and has taught at prestigious institutions like the Conservatoire de Paris. He's also a passionate advocate for music education and accessibility, founding the Nohant Festival Chopin, which brings classical music to a wider audience. His dedication to preserving and promoting the Romantic tradition has earned him numerous accolades and cemented his place as a leading figure in the world of classical piano.
