Description
Born to a French father and a Sino-Vietnamese mother, Marie-Josèphe Jude began her musical studies at the Conservatory of Nice. A precocious artist, she entered the CNSMD of Lyon in harp and the CNSMD of Paris in piano at the age of 13. After obtaining her first prizes in piano and chamber music as well as the concert diploma in harp at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, she continued her studies in London, then decided to dedicate herself exclusively to the piano: she became a Laureate of the Clara Haskil International Competition in Vevey in 1989 and won the Victoires de la Musique in 1995. Her career as a soloist has since taken her to concert halls and festivals around the world, from Montpellier to Bath, from La Roque d’Anthéron to Kuhmo, from Bagatelle to Locarno, collaborating with the Orchestre de Paris, the Nice Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Lyon, Les Siècles, the Tours Symphony Orchestra, the Chopin Academy Orchestra in Warsaw, the BBC Scottish Orchestra, the Basel Symphony Orchestra, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra, and the MDR Orchestra in Leipzig. Marie-Josèphe Jude dedicates a significant part of her activity to teaching: after having been a professor at the CNSMD of Lyon for 4 years, she has been teaching at the CNSMD of Paris since 2016. In 2019, she was a member of the jury for the Marguerite Long Competition, which charged her throughout the 18/19 season with selecting candidates worldwide. In October 2017, she was appointed President and Artistic Director of the International Summer Academy of Nice.
