Born in France in 1962, he was admitted in 1981 to The Juilliard School on full scholarship (Steinway & Freundlich Fund) where he studied with Nadia Reisenberg, pupil of Joseph Hoffman and Adele Marcus, pupil of Joseph Lhevinne and Artur Schnabel, heirs of the Teodor Leszetycki school. In 1984, he decided to settle in Paris and started to give numerous concerts and masterclasses in Europe, the United States and Asia, pursuing further studies with France Clidat and Alexis Weissenberg.

From 1990 to 1995, already fascinated by teaching, at the request of violinist Vladimir Spivakov, he created and was the Head of the Masterclasses of the International Festival of Colmar, becoming also the youngest professor amongst the 25 guest artists invited who included D.

Menuhin… This festival brought together the greatest international institutions such as the Paris Conservatoire, Curtis Institute of Music (Philadelphia), Royal Academy of Music (London), Moscow Conservatory, Juilliard School (New York)...

Then in 1995, following a triumphal recital given at the Louvre Auditorium in Paris, he started to withdraw from the concert scene in order to devote himself to teaching, which he considers ‘an infinite source of enrichment and knowledge, as well as an authentic artistic and human exchange’.

Being now one of the most sought-after teachers, he frequently hosts lectures and workshops and writes books on Piano Pedagogy. He also gives masterclasses throughout the world (China, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Russia, Spain, UK, USA...) and is much demanded as a jury member at international piano competitions: Young Concert Artist New York, San Jose International Competition (USA), Lagny-surMarne International Piano Competition (France), Friuli Venezia Giulia International Piano Competition (Italy)...
