About the Event
Marianne Piketty, violin
Futaba Niekawa, piano
From Bach to Piazzolla, from Baroque reduction to contemporary creation, violinist Marianne Piketty has developed a career as dynamic as it is versatile: solo appearances, recitals, ensemble leadership and numerous chamber music projects. A graduate of the Paris Conservatory (CNSM) and the Juilliard School in New York, she is one of the inheritors of the classical violin tradition thanks to her training with great masters such as Itzhak Perlman and Yehudi Menuhin. Piketty presents a Franco-Belgian program featuring works by Claude Debussy, Eugène Ysaÿe and César Franck.
