Biographies of the coaches

Maxime Alberti, piano
Lyon-born Maxime Alberti studied at the Geneva Haute Ecole de Musique with Sylviane Deferne and obtained his first "soloist" master with distinction. He then pursued his studies with Rena Shereshevskaïa in Paris at the Alfred Cortot school and received an unanimous concert diploma in 2020.
