Marielle Labèque is one half of the internationally acclaimed French piano duo, the Labèque sisters, with her sister Katia Labèque. Born in Bayonne, France, Marielle embarked on a storied career in classical music alongside her sister after studying at the Paris Conservatory. Known for their seamless synchronization and emotional depth, the Labèque sisters have established themselves as one of the premier piano duos in the world, performing with renowned orchestras and at prestigious venues.

Marielle's repertoire, along with her sister, spans a wide range of classical and contemporary works, as demonstrated by their recent releases such as "Dream House Quartet", an exploration into avant-garde compositions, and "Monk: Ellis Island," which displays their appreciation for the intricate jazz compositions of Thelonious Monk. Their technical prowess is showcased in albums like "Gershwin: An American in Paris/Fantasy on Porgy & Bess" and "Piano Fantasy: Music For Two Pianos", where they breathe new life into the classics. Whether delving into the romantic complexities of "Tchaikovsky Fantasy" or celebrating the vibrancy of "España!", Marielle Labèque's artistry is marked by a profound understanding of the piano's expressive capabilities and a dedication to artistic excellence.
