Biography

A student of Polish pianist Ignace Tiegerman, Henri Barda worked in Paris with Lazare Lévy, then entered the Conservatoire de Paris, where he obtained the first prize in piano and chamber music, with the friendship and advice of Joseph Benvenuti, [1] and Jean Hubeau.

He then entered the Juilliard School in New York for four years, where he was taught by Carlos Buhler, Beveridge Webster and Paul Makanovitsky, [2] perfecting his training by attending classes in writing and pedagogy. The diploma he received was accompanied by an exceptional distinction.

Henri Barda has performed in both Europe and the United States, and has toured extensively in Japan, where he performed with the NHK Orchestra.

Invited to numerous festivals in France and abroad, he has made several recordings, notably with Jean-Jacques Kantorow a collection of works for violin and piano by Liszt (Franz Liszt International Prize of Budapest, 1978), as well as the three Chopin Sonatas (Frédéric Chopin International Prize of Warsaw, 1990).

Henri Barda has also worked with American choreographer Jerome Robbins, for ballets created on works by Chopin, with the Étoiles of the Opéra de Paris. A decisive experience, since Henri Barda has continued this close collaboration with dance for more than ten years, both on stage at the Palais Garnier and on international tours.

Henri Barda is professor of piano at the Conservatoire de Paris.
