Marylene Dosse was born in Domfront in Normandy, France - the only place in which her mother could find a hospital which had not been taken over by the invading German armed forces.
She entered the Paris Conservatoire where she studied initially under Jean Batalla and took supplementary lessons in piano and chamber music with Jacques Février.
After winning prizes in competitions in Salzburg and Naples, she began on an extensive concert career.
She is the pianist of the Castalia Trio, together with violinist James Lyon and cellist Kim Cook.
"[1] Dosse has been a guest faculty member of Indiana University-Bloomington and artist-in-residence at the University of Wisconsin.
