Born in Le Havre, Muriel Chemin pursued her diploma in piano, chamber music and history of music at the Ecole Normale Alfred Cortot in Paris, achieving the Licence de Concert. She later won the Premier Prix de Virtuosité in Italy and the International Hennessy-Mozart Competition in Paris.
She currently performs at the Théatre de Paris and at the prestigious Salle Gaveau, but it is above all abroad – in Italy, Switzerland, Austira, Germany, Romania, Turkey, Russia, Hungaria, Chile and in the United States – that she performs regularly, not only as a soloist but as a chamber musician, in piano duos and with orchestras, under conductors such as A. Gerecz, U. Bendetti Michelangeli, and D. del Pino Klinge.
Chemin boasts a vast repertoire ranging from Bach to the contemporaries, including the great German Romantics as well as the French impressionists, but among her favourites are Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Beethoven, whose entire Opus she has recently recorded. For the 2010/11 season she will be partnered with the celebrated cellist David Geringas.
