Pierre GENISSON, clarinet
"An extraordinary clarinetist!"
Born in 1986 in Marseille, Pierre GENISSON is one of the best representatives of the French wind school.

He is now an exclusive Warner classics artist for whom he will release a Mozart CD in 2023.

After having obtained the first prizes unanimously in these two disciplines, he went to perfect his skills at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles with Yehuda Gilad where he obtained an Artist Diploma.

Active ambassador of the Buffet Crampon brand, he is invited to give numerous masterclasses in Europe, Asia, USA, Canada, Mexico and he teaches at the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris. The Academy of Fine Arts of the Institut de France awarded him the "Cino del Duca" interpretation prize in 2018 and he is also a laureate of the Banque Populaire, Safran, and "Music and Wine at Clos Vougeot" Foundations.
In 2020, Pierre GENISSON has recorded in London, with the BBC Concert Orchestra, a CD devoted to Benny Goodman including jazz standards by the famous American composer and jazzman as well as pieces by Copland, Gershwin and Stravinski created by Goodman.
