Patrick Zygmanowski

A pianist of Polish origin trained in the French piano tradition, Patrick Zygmanowski brings together solo performance, chamber music, composition and teaching. His career has taken him across Europe, the Americas and Asia.

He gave his first recital at the age of ten, a performance that foreshadowed the breadth of his talent. He has since appeared on the world’s great stages, from the concert halls of Europe and the United States to the most iconic venues of Asia and Latin America.

Heir to the great tradition of the French piano school, he graduated from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, where he won several first prizes, notably in piano and chamber music, and distinguished himself in the highly selective 3e cycle that trains the finest French soloists. A German government scholarship then allowed him to refine his art at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich.

He collaborates with internationally renowned artists, among them Frédéric Moreau, Gérard Caussé, Renaud Capuçon, Romain Guyot, Jean-Louis Capezzali and Naoto Otomo. Patrick Zygmanowski embodies the alliance of technical rigour and pure emotion.

A composer and arranger, he works with prestigious institutions such as the Comédie-Française, and his creations earned him the Prix Delmas of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. He teaches at the École Normale de Musique de Paris and at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional of Aix-en-Provence, and is a permanent guest professor at the Osaka College of Music. From 2010 to 2012, he was artistic director of the Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto, playing a key role in cultural exchange between France and Japan.

“A dazzling virtuosity, combined with musical intelligence and subtle humour.”
