Bacri, K. Beffa, S. Bortoli, P. Far-ago, N. Mondon, F. Mulsant).

A student of Brigitte Engerer, she received a rich training at the CNSMD in Paris: after her piano prize with unanimous distinction Very Good, she perfected her skills with Jean-François Heisser (piano improvement cycle), Christian Ivaldi (music of room) and Anne Grappotte (vocal accompaniment). Winner of the Seiler International Piano Competition in 2003, she won several prizes in 2004 at the International Piano Campus Competition, including that of the Classica-Répertoire magazine which published her first recital (“Discovery” CD). In 2005, she received the Lucien Durosoir Prize with Geneviève Laurenceau and, in 2011, the Pro Musicis Prize.

In recital or chamber music, Lorène de Ratuld is a guest at the Auvers-sur-Oise, Piano à Auxerre, Matinales d'Arles, Serres d'Auteuil, Piano en Valois, Berlioz Festival, Epau, 1001 Notes Festival, Ravel Days in Montfort-l'Amaury, Moments musicales de Chalosse… and also performs in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy (Bru Zane Foundation), Romania, Sweden and in various African countries.

Attracted by the theater, she participated in several shows by singer and actor Mario Hacquard.

Durosoir (“Gramophone recommends”), Sonatas for cello and piano by C. Franck, G. Fauré and L. Vierne with Aurélienne Brauner. Recently, Piano Works by F.
