Jean-Marc Luisada

Profoundly shaping his musical talents were two teachers: Marcel Ciampi and Denyse Riviere, with whom he studied first in Paris, then at the Yehudi Menuhin School in England. He then began his studies at the Paris National Conservatory of Music, where he studied piano with Dominique Merlet and chamber music with Genevieve Joy-Dutilleux. Winning first prize in both disciplines, he began postgraduate work in 1978, while working regularly with Nikita Magaloff, Paul Badura-Skoda, and Milosz Magin, who would remain his teachers after the completion of his degree.

In 1983, Mr. Luisada gave a prize-winning performance at the Dino Ciani competition at La Scala in Milan. In 1985 he was a prize winner at the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw.
In conjunction with the rise of his touring career, Jean-Marc Luisada recorded first with Harmonic Records and then with the Deutsche Grammophon label with whom he realized numerous recordings - some of the most noteworthy are the Chopin waltzes and Mazurkas and the Grieg and Schumann concerti with the London Symphony Orchestra and Michael Tilson Thomas.
