Bruno Belthoise

Feeling more deeply attracted by the piano, he continued his musical studies with her and then met pianist Claude Maillols[3] who, for five years, taught him technique and repertoire.

He performs as soloist or with his partners (Yves Charpentier, Anne Chamussy,[7] Christophe Giovaninetti,[8] the Concert Impromptu, the Ensemble viennois de Paris, the Trio Pangea[9]).

He may also be heard on France Musique, the Saarländischer Rundfunk or Antena 2 in Lisbon where he likes to interpret the French repertoire: Fauré, Poulenc, Honegger, Milhaud, Roussel, up to the composers of today.

In 1995, he recorded his first solo piano album (Disques Coriolan) devoted to the works of Francisco de Lacerda (1869–1934), a conductor and composer friend of Claude Debussy.

He is also invited by Universities for conferences, (Lille 3, Lyon 2, Montreal...) writes articles for the specialized press (Piano, Latitudes, Seara Nova magazines) and gives recitals in Europe and North America.

In a spirit of collaboration with current Portuguese composers, he is also at the origin of several commissions and has created works by Sérgio Azevedo (1968-), Alexandre Delgado (1965-) and Fernando Lapa (1950-).

His work is encouraged by the most prestigious institutions in Portugal (Ministério da Cultura, Fundação Gulbenkian, Instituto Camões, RDP-Antena2...) The world of childhood, storytelling and narration is a field in which Belthoise likes to evolve, create, imagine and invent.

Thus, were created Bleu d'Outremer pour stimuler l'esprit (2005), echoing René Char's fulgurances and Vieira da Silva's painting, Mozart de Vienne (2007), meeting and confrontation between Bernard de Vienne, living composer and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pèlerinage Rothko (2009), inspired by Mark Rothko's vibrant painting.

In 2008, Belthoise created the Trio Pangea with Adolfo Rascón Carbajal (violin) and Teresa Valente Pereira (cello) and performs in Spain, France and Portugal.

The new album of the Trio Pangea which was released in 2013 was dedicated to composer Emmanuel Hieaux's[12] chamber music published by Disques Coriolan in the Musique d'Aujourd'hui series.
