Élisabeth Pion loves chamber music. Her partners on stage include Dame Imogen Cooper in four-hands duets, Juliana Koch (Principal Oboe, London Symphony Orchestra), Julie Price (Principal Bassoon, BBC Symphony Orchestra), Quatuor Cobalt, Vertavo Quartet, vocal ensemble Les Rugissants, and tenor Mark Padmore. She has been invited to perform as part of chamber music festivals such as IMS Prussia Cove Open Chamber Music, Leeds International Concert Season and Midsummer Music.
She also cultivates a partnership with Greek mezzo-soprano Alexandra Achillea Pouta, with whom she has notably performed at the Barbican as well as Carnegie Hall. She was previously the pianist of the De Beauvoir Trio (2020-23), a Britten-Pears Young Artists Programme Ensemble in residence, and prize-winner of both the 2022 Stasys Vainiunas Competition and the 2021 Virtuoso & Bel Canto Competitions.
Élisabeth is a regular guest artist with orchestras such as the Orchestre Métropolitain, Toledo Symphony, Victoria Symphony, Arion Orchestre Baroque, and Orchestre Classique de Montréal. She has collaborated with conductors such as Kensho Watanabe, Roberto Tibiriçá, Andrés Felipe Jaime, Elizabeth Vergara, Alain Trudel, Mathieu Lussier, Jacques Lacombe, Geneviève Leclair & Gordon Gerrard, and has also fostered a close collaboration with conductor Thomas Le Duc-Moreau and the Ensemble Volte. She enjoys performing a broad range of concerto repertoire, engaging with known masterworks whilst simultaneously bringing unknown masterpieces to audiences.
An experienced recitalist, Élisabeth has performed in prestigious venues such as Wigmore Hall and Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall. She can be heard on CBC/Radio-Classique, BBC Radio 3 and France Musique. Élisabeth is an alumna of the Imogen Cooper Music Trust and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where she worked with Professor Ronan O’Hora and graduated with the Junior Fellowship, Artist Diploma & Artist Masters with highest honours. She has also studied conducting from the keyboard with Ricardo Castro at the Scuela di Musica di Fiesole, and worked with Benedetto Lupo at the Accademia di Musica di Pinerolo. She previously worked in Canada with Francine Lacroix, Suzanne Goyette and André Laplante.
She is grateful for the guidance of the wonderful artists with whom she has had the privilege to work throughout her journey, such as Robert Levin, Yulianna Avdeeva, Alfred Brendel, Boris Berman, Leif Ove Andsnes, Claudio Martinez Mehner, Anne Queffélec, Bertrand Chamayou, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, Cédric Pescia, Jonathan Biss, Maggie Cole, Christian Blackshaw, Stephen Hough, Joanna MacGregor, Richard Goode, Akiko Ebi, Paul Lewis, Adrian Brendel, Anthony Marwood, and David Takeno.
