✨Introducing Matthieu Idmtal - Pianist ✨
Steffen Lachenmann and the Felix Artists Management Team are thrilled to introduce the exceptional pianist Matthieu Idmtal.

As a prize winner of more than 15 international competitions, Matthieu Idmtal has been a guest at the main Belgian stages such as Bozar, Flagey, Muziekcentrum De Bijloke Gent, … and made part of international festivals such as the Klara Festival, Festival Musiq’3, Les Sommets du Classique, Palermo Classica and many more! 👏

The young pianist has now three CD’s to his credit. His last two CD’s were awarded ‘Choice of Klara’ by national radiostation Radio Klara, and received a five-star review by the prestigious music magazine ‘Classica’.🎶

His recording of music entirely devoted to Alexander Scriabin was very highly praised, and in recent years Matthieu Idmtal has established himself as a leading interpreter and representer of his music.✨🎼

Last seasons, Matthieu Idmtal gave solo recitals and concerts with orchestra all over Europe.
In addition to his solo concerts, he very much enjoys playing chamber music, and thus won several prizes in piano duo together with Anastasia Kozhushko, as well as with violinist Maya Levy.
Such awards include top prizes at competitions such as “Youth ’n Classic” (Belgium) or “Concorso Internazionale San Cristoforo” (Italy),... . 🏆

The repertoire of Matthieu Idmtal ranges from the baroque period till music of nowadays, but he has always had a particular attention to (Post-) Romantic music, with Robert Schumann, Edvard Grieg, Alexander Scriabin and Frédéric Chopin as composers close to his heart. 🎹
His affinity with the latter made him create the ‘Brussels Chopin Days’: an international concert series dedicated to F. Chopin of which Matthieu Idmtal is the artistic director since 2013. He also makes a point of bringing lesser known works into the spotlights, and has interest in jazz music. 🎷

His experience makes him a regular guest to give masterclasses, as well as being jurymember in national and international music competitions.
