Biography - Clément Chatelain

Clément began his piano studies at the Nice Conservatory in the class of Laetitia Grisi.

He then studied with Christophe Bukudjian (Saint-Maur-des-Fossés Regional Conservatory), where he obtained his diploma in 2018 with highest honors. Continuing his studies, he furthered his training with concert pianist Cédric Pescia (Geneva University of Music) and Olivier Gardon (École Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot, Paris Conservatory). Clément Chatelain has enriched his artistic universe through encounters with renowned pedagogues such as Anne-Lise Gastaldi, Frédéric Aguessy, Marie-Josèphe Jude, Carine Zarifian, and Anne Queffélec.

In parallel, he performed on stage, notably under the artistic direction of the Roque d'Anthéron International Piano Festival for four consecutive years (Fête de la Musique, Pianos en Fête...), from 2015 to 2018, at events organized in the lead-up to the Festival; at the Cercle Musical de Cannes (Majestic Barrière); and at the Festival à Portée de Rue in Castres.

More recently, he has performed in Brussels, Beausoleil (Printemps des Poètes), Nice, Paris (Salle Érard, Opéra Comique, City Hall), and La Seyne-sur-Mer (Festival International Chopin et Sand and Pianos Historiques Concerts). He was also a 2024 laureate of the City of Paris's Creart'Up program.

He performs both as a soloist and in ensembles: accompanying Léa Desandre and Arielle Dombasle; and in chamber music in sonata and trio formations.

He enjoys thinking outside the box and integrating the piano into different environments, leading to unique encounters between different worlds and creating new artistic spaces. For example: a piano-dance performance at the closing ceremony of the 64th Monte Carlo Television Festival, under the honorary presidency of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
