Arielle Beck has been gifted with great artistic sensitivity and maturity. Advised by Stephen Kovacevich since she was nine, she lets her polyphonic sensibility and musical instinct do the talking.
In recital and as a soloist, she has performed on prestige stages including the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, La Roque d’Anthéron Festival, the Variations Musicales de Tannay, the Lucerne Symphonic Piano, the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, the Festival Piano aux Jacobins de Toulouse, Menton Festival Classique, the Madrid Circulo de Bellas Artes, the Festival de la Grange at Lake Évian, the Schubertiada de Vilabertran, the Arcachon Chamber Music Festival, the Touquet Pianos Folies and Nantes Folles Journées, and in Tokyo. She is regularly invited by the national orchestras of Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes, Nice and Opole (Poland) and chamber orchestras including those of Mannheim and St Martin in the Fields in London.
Born 2009 in Paris, this young musician trained by Igor Lazko – student of Yakov Zak – has been taught by Claire Désert since 2023 at the Paris Conservatory of Music and Dance. In 2018, her precocious talent was recognised with a Premier Grand Prix at the International Young Chopin Competition presided by Martha Argerich; and in 2024 she received the XX Elba Festival Prize.
At 15, Arielle Beck recorded for the Mirare label her first album devoted to Schumann (Grande Humoresque, Op. 20), Brahms (Klavierstücke, Op. 76) and Variations on a Theme from Bunte Blätter her own composition.
