Piano Duo Terra Nova, Pierre-Bastien Midali and Elodie Griscelli, have performed in France, UK Portugal, and several other European countries, as well as in Argentina; and in Edinburgh their concerts at St Mary’s and St Giles’ Cathedrals during the Festival 2016 were very well received. Their varied repertoire stretches from works by Mozart, Brahms and Schubert to Debussy, Ravel and Saint-Saëns.
Winners as a duo of the 2016 International Piano Competition in Brest, France, they have also separately won many prizes and are accomplished solo and chamber music performers in their own right. Both studied with Parisian teacher Geneviève Ibanez, although they did not meet until later.
Both are Conservatoire piano and chamber music teachers in France.
Their first CD Invitation au voyage was released in autumn 2016 and includes works by Debussy, Rachmaninov and Mozart, among others.
