Samuel Bismut is a pianist born in 1998, currently in master's studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris in the class of Denis Pascal and Varduhi Yeristian. He also studies in masterclasses with Claire Désert, Michel Dalberto and Sébastien Vichard.

Samuel Bismut was noticed at the 2019 edition of the Long-Thibaud-Crespin competition, and then for his interpretation of Schubert's Sonata in C minor D958 during the recital final of the Internationaler Schubert-Wettbewerb 2021 (Germany). Winner of the Rosa Sabater Prize at the prestigious international competition Premio Jaén 2022 (Spain), he was rewarded for his commitment to the Spanish repertoire, and in particular Isaac Albéniz's grand cycle "Iberia".

He was also nominated among the classical revelations "Talents Adami 2022", and on this occasion, will give several concerts in Paris and throughout France this summer.

Very early on, he shared the stage with many partners, notably soloists from the Orchestre de Montpellier. He is invited to perform as soloist and chamber musician, with the Orchestre Symphonique et Lyrique de Paris under the direction of Luc-Marie Aguera in Mozart's Concerto in A major K414 or for the premiere of Sophie Lacaze's work "Immobilité sérieuse" for piano and string orchestra. He also forms a duo with clarinetist Anaïde Apélian with whom he covers a broad repertoire and takes part in various chamber music ensembles.

Regularly called upon to champion his favorite repertoire in concert halls, he is particularly devoted to the music of Mozart, Schubert, Chopin, as well as the French 20th-century piano repertoire. He frequently performs in Montpellier (Salle Molière, Maison des Chœurs), Paris (Notre-Dame du Liban, Aux Pianissimes at the Musée Guimet, in the Chopin recital series "Piano Passion" at Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre), in the festivals of Saint-Yrieix, Nancyphonies, Festival Salon de Provence, Musicales de Normandie, Harmonies du Perche and the international chamber music festival "Tons Voisins" in Albi.
