Elizabeth Sombart holds a unique place in the classical music world. She is a regular guest at the world’s most prestigious venues, a prolific recording artist, a committed educator and an engaged artist bringing music to remote underprivileged locations. Born in Strasbourg, Elizabeth Sombart took up the piano at the age of seven. She studied at the Strasbourg Conservatoire then left France for Buenos Aires to develop her art further with Bruno-Leonardo Gelber. She continued her training with great masters such as Peter Feuchtwanger in London, with Hilde Langer-Rühl in Vienna and finally with the famed conductor Sergiu Celibidache at the University of Mayence, with whom she studied musical phenomenology for ten years. With the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra led by Pierre Vallet, she recorded the complete piano concertos by Beethoven Beethoven Piano Concertos, Chopin: Piano Concerto Nos. 1 & 2 and an album of Favourite Adagios. Teaching is at the center of Elizabeth’s mission. In 1998, she created the Fondation Résonnance a free international center for the teaching of the Pédagogie Résonnance open to pianists of all levels, a project which today extends to seven countries. Soon, her twenty years of master classes will be available online. The podcast series A Journey at the piano is out now .
