Jean Bernard Marie (piano) plays Chopin and Liszt

Jean-Bernard Marie was born in Mauritius and moved to Australia at an early age where he was taught by Josephine Bell and Igor Hmelnitsky at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. He subsequently studied with Venstislav Yankoff at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris and obtained the 'Premier Prix'. He then pursued his studies in London with Geoffrey Parsons before embarking on an international career.

Jean-Bernard Marie has performed extensively not only as a soloist but also as a Lieder accompanist and in chamber music and larger orchestral ensembles.

In addition, Jean-Bernard Marie has performed for numerous radio broadcasts in Australia, the USA, Asia and Europe. His solo CD recordings include ‘Bachannal’ and ‘Silicon Music’ by Pascal Zavaro for Radio France, as well as two CD releases in 2007 of Czech composers and a solo recital album.

"Floating, drifting... this performance of Mozart firmly placed Jean-Bernard Marie amongst today's virtuosi. He made his listeners shudder... and later there was more to satisfy the already conquered audience."
