Who are we ?
Le Concert Autrement
is led by Anna Pétron, concert pianist, and Séverine Bertrand, lawyer.
United by a passion for classical music, we take the concert beyond the great concert halls into today’s environments, without sacrificing excellence.
Anna Pétron
"His music tends to imitate the warmth of the voice.
Carried along by a round, powerful and subtle sound, his poetic conduct transports us into an invitation to dream."
Noticed at an early age by pianist Nikita Magaloff, who was to become her mentor, Anna has been playing in concert since the age of seven, and began touring internationally.
A prizewinner in piano and chamber music at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris and the Royal Academy in London, she has won prizes at major international competitions.
Transmission is an important part of Anna's life. She is Artistic Director for musical recordings by soloists and orchestras (Adam Laloum (Harmonia Mundi), Emmanuel Ceysson (Naïve), the Orchestre national d'Avignon under Samuel Jean, Laurent Verney (21 production).
She also coaches artists in preparation for concerts and international competitions.
She recently distinguished herself as a musical advisor for the theater, in Serge Kribus' play about pianist Clara Haskil, "Prélude et Fugue", starring Laetitia Casta.
She founded the Résidences musicales Gustave Fayet at Fontfroide Abbey near Narbonne.
Séverine Bertrand
After spending her childhood in Africa and Norway, Séverine studied classical law. She then embarked on a demanding professional career that took her from the luxury goods industry to pharmaceutical laboratories as General Counsel.
She has also held regulatory functions within a national authority.
At the same time, she has been involved in the protection of fundamental freedoms within the framework of an independent administrative authority.
Her love of art, music and literature led her to set up Le Concert Autrement with Anna Pétron, to bring a new perspective to the concert experience.
