Swiss pianist and composer Beatrice Berrut, Associate Artist 2023 of the “Festivals de Wallonie,” is celebrated for her visionary artistry.
Described as “an artist who calmly embraced multiple layers of genius and beauty” (Irish Times), her performances and interpretations of composers like Chopin and Mahler captivate audiences worldwide. Her paraphrase of Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night, praised by the composer’s son, exemplifies her innovative spirit.

Berrut's dynamic career spans from performances with major European orchestras, including the English Chamber Orchestra and solo-recitals at renowned venues like Wigmore Hall and Vienna Konzerthaus. She transforms Mahler’s symphonies into lush piano scores, earning acclaim such as Le Monde’s description of her music as “liquid gold.”

A cultural pioneer, she directs the “Les Ondes” festival and collaborates with diverse artists, from ice skaters to dance troupes, exploring the intersection of classical tradition and contemporary creativity. Her recordings, including collaborations with the label La Dolce Volta, highlight her blend of European spiritualism, American minimalism, and cinematic heroism.

A Bösendorfer artist since 2013, Berrut remains committed to democratizing classical music, bridging genres, and crafting innovative musical experiences that resonate deeply with her audiences.
