Biography

Rémi Geniet studied piano in the classes of Brigitte Engerer at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, Rena Shereshevskaya at the École Normale de Musique Alfred Cortot, and Evgeni Koroliov at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg. He is currently attending conducting lessons with Rüdiger Bohn at the Robert Schumann Musikhochschule in Düsseldorf.

Prize Winner at international competitions, participant of the XVIII International "Musical Olympus" Festival in 2013.

A musician of “dazzling and rare intelligence” (Le Devoir), known internationally for his brilliant career as a pianist since winning Second Prize at the 2013 Queen Elisabeth Competition at the age of 20, Rémi Geniet has always held a deep interest in the orchestral and lyric world. Both his debut all-Bach CD, which received a “Diapason d’Or of the Year” in 2015, and his second release of four Beethoven sonatas, also on the Mirare label, were unanimously praised by the critics.

In recent years, he has become more intensively involved in orchestral conducting, and after being chosen in 2022 by Riccardo Muti to participate as a répétiteur in his Italian Opera Academy, the maestro reinvited him for the following academy, this time as a conductor.

The beginning of the 2024-2025 season was marked by an invitation from Paavo Järvi to take part in his conducting academy at the Pärnu Festival in Estonia. Rémi Geniet is also invited back for recitals at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the F1963 cultural complex in Busan, Korea, and will make his London debut at the Bechstein Hall.
