Géry Moutier
Born in Normandy, son of painters and teachers,
Gery Moutier begins the piano at the age of four. He is remarked by Tasso
Janopoulos, partner of Jacques Thibaud, and plays at the age of eleven in the
Salle Pleyel, in the theatre of the Champs-Elysées, with the national orchestra
of Ile-de-France then with the national orchestra of France. At the age of thirteen, Géry Moutier continues his
formation at the conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris in a
sensitive and complete course (piano, chamber music, harmonize, counterpoint)
with Lucette Descaves, Jean Hubeau and Pierre Sancan, then receives, after his
first prices, perfection lessons with Aldo Ciccolini, György Sebok, Paul
Badura-Skoda and Dimitri Bashkirov. Laureate of the international competition
of Cleveland, Barcelona, and Price Marguerite Long, he became, the day of his
nineteen years old, interpret-soloist in Radio-France. His repertory is singularly large and his
concerts, with orchestra, in chamber music or in recital, led him to Rome,
Prague, Minsk, Moscow, London, Budapest, Vienna, Saarbrucken, and Montreal.
Gery Moutier played on stage with Olivier Charlier, Raphaël Oleg, Henryk
Szeryng, Gerard Jarry, Amy Flammer, Roland Daugareil, Laurent Korcia, Pierre
Amoyal, Tasso Adamopoulos, Bruno Pasquier, Gary Hoffman, Roland Pidoux, Alain
Meunier, Guy Deplus, Capezzali Jean-Louis, Jacques Di Donato, Helene
Devilleneuve, Alain Marion, the Rosamonde and Ludwig quartets. His passion to share the music can't be devided
from his research and teaching activity. Gery Moutier was assistant professor
to the conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris during eleven
years, including eight assisting Aldo Ciccolini, and three near Bruno Rigutto
then, full professor (in Reims during 10 years, and the conservatoire notional
de région de Paris), and director of establishment (conservatoire de
Maison-Alfort). Named in 1997, head of a piano class to the conservatoire
national supérieur de musique de Lyon and in charge of the keyboard department
since 1999, he is regularly invited to teach in academies and foreign schools
(Vienna, Montreal, Budapest, Nancy), and many young artists of today profited
from his councils. |
