Elizabeth Sombart
Pianist Elizabeth Sombart is world-renowned for her distinctive touch, intense focus, and highly sensitive playing style. She has developed a unique teaching method called Pédagogie Résonnance, based on the principles of musical phenomenology, which seeks to create unity between musical intention, technique and sound.
Over the past twenty years, Sombart has given masterclasses and conferences all over Europe. The video recordings of these masterclasses form the core of this new platform, designed as a learning resource for pianists and music-lovers more broadly.
Elizabeth has recorded an extensive discography, published several books, and featured in numerous documentaries. Her recent recordings include the complete Beethoven Piano Concertos with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Pierre Vallet.
From a young age, Elizabeth has sought to share classical music with a wider audience. In 1988 she created the Fondation Résonnance to bring music to places where it is not usually heard: in nursing homes, prisons, hospitals and orphanages. She performs up to 100 free concerts every year.
She has been honoured in France with the ranks of Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite and Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her lifetime achievement and services to music.
