French pianist Lise de la Salle performs classical music at Musikhuset Aarhus.
Lise de la Salle, born 8 May 1988 in Cherbourg, France, began playing piano at four and gave her first live broadcast on Radio France at nine. A graduate of the Paris Conservatoire, she won both the European Young Concert Artists Auditions in Paris (2003) and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York (2004), launching an international career that has taken her to the world's leading orchestras. Her extensive discography on Naïve Records, covering repertoire from Russian Romanticism to Liszt and Ravel, has earned multiple critical awards including a Diapason d'Or and Gramophone Editor's Choice.
Lise de la Salle released the album Phantasmagoria on Naïve Records on February 14, 2025 - a Liszt program with the Sonata in B minor, Cantique d'amour and Réminiscences de Don Juan.
Gramophone reviewed Phantasmagoria in March 2025 and described de la Salle as a 'supremely confident guide' in Liszt's Sonata.
In the 2024/25 season, de la Salle made her debut with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and returned to the NHK Symphony Orchestra under Fabio Luisi.
In the 2025/26 season, de la Salle collaborates with, among others, Staatskapelle Berlin under Nathalie Stutzmann, Wiener Symphoniker and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
In August 2025, de la Salle performed at the Aspen Music Festival with Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major.
