Géry Moutier

Born in Normandy in 1957, Moutier explored the piano at the age of four, with a mother who loved literature and a father - a graduate of the Van Der Kelen Institute - who was passionate about painting and architecture.

Professor and keyboard coordinator at the conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Reims [fr], Moutier then took over the direction of the Conservatory of Maisons-Alfort for seven years, where he gathered the teaching team around the link between education and culture, essential for the development of the child, and led the musical programming of the Theatre and the library in the same city.

Several first prizes in the Orléans Piano XXth century International Competition (including Florence Cioccolani,[2] Wilhem Latchoumia, Maroussia Gentet),[3] from his class at the CNSMD in Lyon, illustrate his commitment to contemporary creation.

Moutier shared the stage with Gérard Jarry, Olivier Charlier, Raphaël Oleg, Boris Garlitsky, Amy Flammer,[4] Roland Daugareil,[5] Laurent Korcia, Dong-Suk Kang, Gérard Poulet, Tasso Adamopoulos, Bruno Pasquier, Pierre-Henri Xuereb, Michel Michalakakos, Gary Hoffman [fr], Roland Pidoux, Philippe Muller, Alain Meunier, Jacques Di Donato, Alain Marion, Vincent Lucas, Philippe Pierlot, and with the Rosamonde, Ludwig and Castagneri string quartets.

[citation needed] On 1 September 2009, Moutier was appointed director of the Conservatoire national supérieur musique et danse de Lyon, establishment he will leave[6] after three successive terms.
