"The tonal colour, dynamic sense of timing and expressive coherence of Antonin Bonnet’s playing are thrilling" — Marie-Aude Roux, Le Monde. "Extremely sensitive, a very fine musician, a beautiful sound, a great deal of taste" — Philippe Cassard, Portraits de famille, France Musique.

Born in 2001 on the day of the Fête de la Musique, Antonin Bonnet has performed on many major French stages, including the Festival de La Roque d’Anthéron, the Festival de La Chaise-Dieu, La Folle Journée de Nantes, Auditorium de La Seine Musicale, Archives Nationales and Salle Cortot.

His performances have been broadcast on Génération France Musique, BR-Klassik and RTS Espace 2. Antonin is a winner of the Fondation Banque Populaire as well as numerous international piano and chamber music competitions (Stasys Vainiūnas, Carles & Sofia, Piano Campus, Premio Annarosa Taddei...) where he distinguished himself by the diversity and sensitivity of his playing.

His recent solo appearances include Schumann’s Piano Concerto with Orchestre de Picardie and Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with Orchestre des Lauréats du Conservatoire. He has also collaborated with Orchestre Appassionato and other ensembles. Admitted unanimously to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique of Paris (CNSMDP) at the age of 16, he obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degree in the class of Denis Pascal, then the prestigious Diploma of Artiste Interprète (third graduate). He previously studied with Frédérique Lagarde, then Romain Descharmes at the CRR in Paris, where he received his award with the congratulations of the jury. He is currently perfecting in Konzertexam at the Hochschule fr Musik und Theater Hamburg with Anna Vinnitskaya.

Wishing to enrich his stylistic understanding, he trained at pianoforte with Daria Fadeeva at the CNSMDP, and participated in the cycle Les sons et couleurs de Chopin, on historical instruments, animated by Yves Henry. Deeply inspired by lied and melody, he also benefits from the teaching of Anne Le Bozec and Emmanuel Olivier. He is invited to several renowned academies, including Académie Musicale de Villecroze (2019, 2022, 2024) and Encuentro de Música y Academia de Santander (2023), working alongside musicians such as Philippe Cassard, Blandine Dumay, Philippe Giusiano, Benedetto Lupo, Stanislav Ioudenitch, Marc-André Hamelin, Avedis Kouyoumdjian, Bernard d’Ascoli and Trio Wanderer.

In 2022–2023, he joined the Debussy promotion of Académie Philippe Jaroussky, where he benefits from the advice of Cédric Tiberghien. At the end of the Académie du Festival dei Due Mondi in July 2026, Antonin won the «Spoleto Young Award», awarded to the participant «who is particularly distinguished by his talent, commitment and artistic potential». He is also a French Connection Academy winner. A sought-after chamber musician, he has performed alongside artists such as Lise Berthaud, Olivier Charlier, Pierre Fouchenneret, Calogero Palermo, Nemanja Radulovic and François Salque.

He forms a regular duet with the violinist Iris Scialom and the cellist Krzysztof Michalski. His duet with Iris Scialom was praised for its ability to offer “a wonderful poetic thrill (Concertclassic). Together, they earned their Master of Chamber Music at the CNSMDP in the class of Claire Désert and François Salque with the highest distinctions and are the first duo to enter residency at the Fondation Singer-Polignac. Their first album Arborescence, dedicated to Fauré, Ravel and Enesco and released in September 2025 under the label Scala Music with the precious support of the Académie Musicale de Villecroze was praised by the critics.
