FCA Laureate Laure Cholé in Concert at Salle Cortot with Les Pianissimes

On March 15, 2026, French Connection Academy (FCA) presents a special prize concert featuring pianist Laure Cholé, FCA laureate 2025, in collaboration with Les Pianissimes, one of France’s most respected platforms for emerging pianists.

As part of the “Coups de cœur des Pianissimes 2026” concert series, Laure Cholé performs at Salle Cortot in Paris, joining a curated lineup of promising young artists from Europe’s leading conservatoires.

Known for her expressive range and chamber music sensibility, Laure Cholé is part of a new generation of French pianists recognized for both technical precision and deep musicality. A frequent guest at festivals such as Schiermonnikoog Festival, Les Pianissimes, Festival Ravel, and Rencontres Musicales La Baule, Cholé has been praised for her “emotional palette and remarkable intensity” (Sud-Ouest) and for the way she “makes the piano sing across a wide spectrum of nuance” (ResMusica).

This performance is part of her prize from French Connection Academy, awarded during FCA’s 2025 masterclass in Odense, Denmark, in recognition of her artistic personality and potential for international collaboration. The concert is supported by FCA’s partnership with Les Pianissimes, an association dedicated to presenting exceptional talents from leading institutions such as the CNSMDP, HEM, and HfMT Hamburg.

The full concert event runs from 14:00 to 19:00 at Salle Cortot (78 rue Cardinet, 75017 Paris), with Laure Cholé taking the stage at 15:00.
