Clément Lefebvre
If there is a circle of poet-musicians, the pianist Clément Lefebvre is the torch-bearer of his generation. His first album « Rameau/Couperin », released in 2018 by Evidence Classics, reveals him as such to the music-loving public and within the musical world. This recording now bears his unique artistic signature, which earned him immediate and unanimous recognition: a « masterstroke » crowned with a Diapason d’Or Découverte.
His authentic personality and poetic sense were also noticed at the 2019 International Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition, of which he is laureate. Previously, he had been distinguished across the Channel, winning in 2016 the First Prize and the Audience Prize at the James Mottram International Piano Competition in Manchester.

 This double consecration comes in the course of a musical journey that began in his early youth in the north of France, then in Paris when he was only ten years old, with Billy Eidi, who gave him everything that constitutes the foundations of the musical art. He then went on to Lille, where he trained with Marc Lys and Jean-Michel Dayez, then at the Conservatoire de Boulogne-Billancourt in Hortense’s Cartier-Bresson class., and finally at the CNSM in Paris: a student of Roger Muraro and Isabelle Dubuis, he also received advice from Claire Désert, Alain Planès, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard.

 With a great artistic demand that he developed with these masters, he owes it to Roger Muraro in particular to know how to assert his musical thought in rigour, depth but also expressive imagination, whether it is through the attention paid to the clarity of the musical discourse, or the one dedicated to the creation of a sound universe.

Stone by stone, his artistic career is taking shape and taking solid shape: the Banque Populaire Foundation, the Safran Foundation, the Société Générale Patronage, these prestigious institutions of which he is a laureate, give him their trust and support.
Festivals and organisers invite him to perform at La Roque d’Anthéron, the Folle Journée de Nantes, the Chopin Festival in Paris, the Soloists in Bagatelle, the Nohant Piano Festival, the Radio France auditorium, the Louvre auditorium and the Philharmonie de Paris. He has performed on foreign stages: Dublin, Beijing, Brussels, Berlin, Amsterdam.

 As a soloist, he has the privilege of playing in concert with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France, the Orchestre de la Garde Républicaine.
