Patrick Zygmanowski: from the age of five, Patrick Zygmanowski expressed the wish to play his scales; at eleven, he gave his first recital.

He was awarded the First Prize for piano and the First Prize for chamber music at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, and was admitted to the third cycle in Pascal Devoyon's class.

With a scholarship from the German government, he studied with Gerhard Oppitz at the University of Music and Arts in Munich.

Passionate about chamber music, he obtained several First Prizes in international competitions. In 2007, he was awarded the Delmas Prize by the Académie des Beaux-Arts.

The critics hail him as "a sensitive and attentive performer, who carries his partner with elegance and authority" (Le Monde de la Musique) and a "sensitive pianist, who shows intelligence and humour" (Classica).

He participates in numerous festivals in Europe and throughout the world, such as the Festival de la Roque d'Anthéron, the Festival de l'Orangerie de Sceaux and the Young Artists Festival in Kyoto. He performs as a soloist in several countries: the United States, Finland, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Korea...
