Marie Sontag, Pianist in Abu Dhabi
I discovered the piano thanks to my parents and sisters, who took lessons at home in our little village of Pignan: This multitude of keys, the vibration of the instrument, the magic of the sounds and resonance made me want to discover this instrument that spoke so much to me.
This is how I fell in love with the piano at 5 years old. Which started a series of mini-concerts along my musical training during the last 20 years, in an exhilarating atmosphere, surrounded by carings friends and relatives.
Once graduated from the National Conservatory, my career as a pianist then began, and I continue performing on different stages throught the world.
Solo piano recitals
In solo, I have at heart to express the composer's feelings and soul in the context of its time. Therefore, I live and share my emotions in an intimate atmosphere with the audience.

Repertoire: I perform the music of classical (Beethoven), post-romantic (Granados), and impressionist (Debussy, Ravel, Satie) composers. I also play contemporary music (French and international songs, folk music, and pop-rock).
