Alphonse Cemin

Alphonse Cemin is a gifted French-Brazilian pianist and artistic director known for his collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to classical music. His work spans a wide range, from deeply resonant interpretations of the German lieder tradition with baritones like Jean-Christophe Lanièce to premiering contemporary pieces by composers such as Pedro García-Velásquez and Tomás Bordalejo. He frequently performs and records in partnership with other musicians, and his live albums at venues like Paris’s Théâtre de l'Athénée showcase his dynamic presence and commitment to bringing both classic and new works to life.

Beyond performing, Cemin is a co-founder and artistic director of the ensemble Les Solistes à Bagatelle and the Festival de la Roque d'Anthéron's "Les Vacances de Monsieur Haydn" series, reflecting his passion for curating unique musical experiences. His recordings, often centered on French composers like Debussy and Ravel as well as the song repertoire, highlight his thoughtful musicianship and his role as a connector between composers, performers, and audiences in today's classical music scene.
