SUMMARY:Prize Concert : Pianissimes\, Paris
DESCRIPTION:FCA Laureate Laure Cholé in Concert at Salle Cortot with Les Pianissimes\nOn 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. \n \nAs 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. \nKnown 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). \nThis 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. \nThe 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. \n\nAbout French Connection AcademyFCA is a Danish-French initiative connecting classical music students with international mentors\, masterclasses\, and performance opportunities across Europe.

SUMMARY:Prize Concert : French Embassy & Institut Français in Denmark
DESCRIPTION:FCA Prize Concert: “Danish Spirits”\nApril 22\, 2026 – Institut Français & French Embassy in Denmark \nFrench Connection Academy (FCA) is proud to present a new prize concert featuring FCA laureates Alva Wadströmer (Sweden) and Romain Jansen (France)\, hosted in the elegant salons of the French Embassy and Institut Français in Copenhagen. \n  \nThis special concert\, titled “Danish Spirits\,” brings to life musical and cultural ties between Denmark and its European neighbours through a carefully curated program. The repertoire was selected and researched in close collaboration with FCA leaders\, and reflects the 2026 FCA summer academy’s overarching theme of Nordic identity\, cross-cultural connection\, and artistic memory. \nAlva and Romain\, both former participants in the FCA 2026 Academy\, have designed a program that bridges French romanticism and Danish symbolism\, while tracing lesser-known musical footprints – such as those of Clara Schumann\, who performed multiple concerts in Denmark and engaged with leading Danish poets and composers of the 19th century. \nProgram:– Maurice Ravel: Sonata No. 1 in A minor\, M.12– Rued Langgaard: Violin Sonata No. 3\, BVN 312– Rued Langgaard: Short Violin Sonata\, BVN 372– Clara Schumann: 3 Romances\, Op. 22– Cécile Chaminade: Capriccio\, Op. 18– Gabriel Fauré: Après un rêve \nRunning time: 1h \nThis event not only highlights the talents of two promising musicians\, but also underscores FCA’s mission: to empower young artists to take responsibility for their artistic vision and to contextualize their repertoire with depth and cultural awareness. \n\nAbout French Connection AcademyFounded in Denmark and France\, FCA fosters international collaboration among classical musicians through mentorships\, masterclasses\, and performance opportunities. The academy’s annual summer session in Odense brings together young talents and distinguished artists from across Europe. \nMore information:🌐 www.frenchconnectionacademy.com
