Simon Ghraichy is a pianist, and he doesn’t break the rule. Either in the Piano or in the Forte, his play relies on a unity built since his first encounter with the instrument, at the age of five. This mastery consists of three pillars: cosmopolitanism, singularity, virtuosity.
He juxtaposes his latino-american and oriental roots with the European sensibility and history of classical music tradition that he has learned besides masters such as Michel Béroff and Daria Hovora within the Conservatoire National de Paris (CNSMDP) or Tuija Hakkila at the Sibelius Academy of Helsinki. He strives to perform with orchestras and in the most diverse venues, searching for a new musical color at every stop (Brazil Symphony Orchestra, State of Mexico Symphony Orchestra, Cairo Symphony Orchestra, Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra, Cuba National Symphony Orchestra, UniSA international music festival in South Africa, EXIT festival in Serbia, Isang Yun festival in South Korea, etc…).
