Anne Le Bozec

Anne Le Bozec is Professor of Vocal Accompaniment at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Paris and has rapidly established herself as one of the leading pianists and accompanists of her generation, playing with major artists in recital and chamber music throughout Europe, America and Asia.

After graduating from the CNSM de Paris, majoring in piano, vocal accompaniment and chamber music, she proceeded to Hartmut Hoell's renowned Lieder Diploma in Karlsruhe, and soon began the first class on French mélodie in a German Hochschule. Alongside bursaries from French, German and European Foundations, she won major prizes in international competitions for solo piano, Lied and chamber music; among them the Schubert und die Moderne Wettbewerb Graz (Austria), the Concours Nadia and Lili Boulanger Competition (France) and the Hugo Wolf Wettbewerb (Germany).

Her recordings of vocal and instrumental chamber music have included songs by Schubert, Mahler, Fauré, Britten, Wolf, Duparc, Chopin, Szymanowsky and Brahms; as well as the complete Beethoven and Fauré cello sonatas with the distinguished French cellist Alain Meunier, and Russian flute repertoire with long time duo partner Sandrine Tilly. Anne recorded a whole Shakespeare album with mezzo-soprano Isabelle Druet in 2016 (the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death), and six of her albums feature pieces from and around the First World War. Her recording of Schubert’s Winterreise with French tenor Cyrille Dubois was released in December 2023 and was largely acclaimed in France, Germany and England (Gramophone’s Editor’s Choice). To be released soon is a tribute to Ronsard’s 500th year with baritone Marc Mauillon, and a monography on the Norwegian composer Agathe Backer-Grondhal with piano music and songs with soprano Karen Vourc’h.

Anne Le Bozec teaches French song, German Lied, vocal accompaniment and chamber music in masterclasses all over the world. She is joint Artistic Director with Alain Meunier of the French chamber music festival 'Fêtes Musicales de l’Aubrac'. She is co-organizing the next Congress on the piano accompaniment profession, to be held in November 2024 at the Conservatoire Paris, including the first documentary ever filmed in France on this subject. She has been awarded with the French national distinction Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres.
