Natacha Kudritskaya, piano

The exhibition on show at the Musée d'Orsay offers an exploration of Céline Laguarde's photography, while this concert, performed by Natacha Kudritskaya, reveals her intimate relationship with music. Aside from her career as a photographer, Céline Laguarde was a renowned pianist and close friend of Darius Milhaud. The program presents pieces which she played, or which held particular meaning for her.

Natacha Kudritskaya has dual cultural heritage: Ukrainian and French. She won the Rachmaninoff international youth piano competition in Novgorod (Russia) in 2000, and went on to study music in Paris at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique, then at the Tchaikovsky Academy of Music in Kiev. For this concert dedicated to Céline Laguarde, she has chosen pieces by Darius Milhaud, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel.
