Marina Chiche was born in Marseilles in 1981. She started playing the violin at the age of 3. [4]
Chiche studied at the Marseilles National Conservatory with Jean Ter-Merguerian. At the age of 16 she began studying at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris where she obtained four first prizes, in violin, chamber music (class of Pierre-Laurent Aimard), analysis and aesthetics. She continued honing her skills with Boris Kuschnir in Vienna, then with Ana Chumachenco at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, and Ferenc Rados in Budapest. She obtained a master's degree in Early music at the Berlin University of the Arts. Chiche took numerous master classes with renowned musicians such as Joseph Silverstein, Ida Haendel, Gerhard Schulz and György Kurtag. In 2016, she received a doctorate degree in "aesthetics, theory and practice of the arts" at the University of Lille. [5]
In 2003, she recorded her debut: the complete sonatas of Brahms with pianist Vahan Mardirossian, [6] which was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Chiche participated in the recording of Éric Tanguy's "Chamber Music" for the Transart Live label. [7] In 2008, she recorded the solo album After reading Bach, which included an eponymous composition by Karol Beffa, as well as pieces by Bach, Prokofiev and Ysaÿe. [8]
Chiche has performed all over the world as a soloist with orchestra, in recital as well as in chamber music. As a soloist she played with orchestras such as Sinfonia Varsovia, Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, Orchestre National de Lille, Orchestre National de Bretagne, Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse and the Orchestra Ensemble Kanazawa. She also performed alongside Joseph Silverstein, Gérard Caussé, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon, Marc Coppey, Jérôme Pernoo, Vladimir Mendelssohn, Jonathan Gilad, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Augustin Dumay, Florent Boffard, Anssi Karttunen, Magnus Lindberg, and Chen Halevi.

In 2014, Chiche performed Vivaldi's Four Seasons in La Folle Journée held in Tokyo. [12]
In 2020 she recorded the album Post-scriptum in duet with the pianist Aurélien Pontier, [13] which received excellent reviews, including a 5 stars review from Classica. [14]
Marina Chiche plays a Neapolitan violin by Giuseppe Gagliano from 1762. Since 2020 she also plays a violin by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini from 1784, on loan from the Zilber-Vatelot-Rampal association. [15]

Since her return to Paris, she gives seminars on music at Sciences Po. [16]
Chiche writes about the backstage of the life of a musician in her blog “Everything you always wanted to know about the life of a professional musician”. [17] She also regularly publishes articles about music in magazines, [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] and produces programs for France Musique [23] at Radio France. In 2021 she produced a series of podcasts about pioneering female musicians. [24] In October that year she published the book Musiciennes de légende. De l'ombre à la lumière (“Legendary female musicians, from shadow to light”), which depicts portraits of 30 known and lesser-known 19th and 20th century musicians. [25] [26]
The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77, was composed by Johannes Brahms in 1878 and dedicated to his friend, the violinist Joseph Joachim. It is Brahms's only violin concerto, and, according to Joachim, one of the four great German violin concerti:
The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest, most uncompromising is Beethoven's. The one by Brahms vies with it in seriousness. The richest, the most seductive, was written by Max Bruch. But the most inward, the heart's jewel, is Mendelssohn's.
Jean-Joseph de Mondonville, also known as Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville, was a French violinist and composer. He was a younger contemporary of Jean-Philippe Rameau and enjoyed great success in his day. Pierre-Louis Daquin claimed, "If I couldn't be Rameau, there's no one I would rather be than Mondonville".
