Marie-Ange Nguci
PianoMarie-Ange Nguci has performed in prestigious venues such as the Vienna Musikverein, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Tonhalle Zürich, Sydney Opera House, Oslo Opera House, Philharmonie de Paris, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Auditorium de Radio France and Teatro della Pergola in Florence. She rose to wide public attention in 2018 with the release of her first CD, En miroir on the Mirare label. This recording featured the piano works of composers best known as organists and improvisers—Franck, Bach, Saint-Saëns, and Escaich, and won the coveted Choc de Classica as well as being warmly praised in the press. Accepted into the Paris Conservatoire at the age of 13 in the class of Nicholas Angelich, Nguci studied orchestral conducting at Vienna’s Musik und Kunst Universität and was admitted at the age of 18 to the PhD-DMA degree program in Music at the City University of New York.
