Marie Datcharry, piano accompanist

Marie Datcharry began studying the piano at the age of 6. She obtained two music degrees from the Conservatoire of Bayonne: piano in 2007 and accompaniment in 2009. She was then fortunate enough to benefit from the tutelage of Jacques Rouvier in Paris, before entering the Conservatoire of Brussels in the classes of Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden (“Licence”), Dominique Cornil (“Master”) and Philippe Riga (Accompaniment).
