About Anne Lovett
Anne Lovett is a pianist and composer whose outstanding dynamic virtuosity serves a powerful evocative musical style reflected in her exciting works. Lovett’s compositions crosses the unchartered music frontier from classical to contemporary in original ways using simply a piano or support from effect pedals, balanced amplification and other analogue devices. Her music connects deeply to her listener’s senses and takes them onto an emotionally freeing journey. Like Satie, Anne Lovett was born in Normandie, France. She began piano lessons at the age of three. She then went on to study at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris with Pierre Reach (a pupil of the great Artur Rubinstein) and Alberto Neuman (a rare student of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli). At the early age of eleven, she was invited to perform in concert at the Festival International d’Annecy and a year later at the Festival International de Montdauphin. Despite her classical background, Anne developed a great interest in other musical genres. She also studied jazz and improvised music with Samy Abenaim of the Bill Evans Piano Academy in Paris and later free improvisation with Keith Tippett. Following her British roots, she moved to the UK in 1999 to further her education at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Hamish Milne. She also studied composition with Ruth Byrchmore, chamber music with Michael Dussek and jazz with Dominic Alldis. She graduated with Honors in 2003. Since graduating, Anne has performed throughout Europe including Portugal, Norway, Italy, England and France. Recent notable concerts include the Festival International de Musique de la Hague, the premiere of her “Tokyo Rush” in Norway for the 100 years of the hydroelectric power revolution in Hardanger where Anne represented England in a 3 hours celebration. Forthcoming tour and in Brazil-Rio de Janeiro, Brazilia, Sao Paulo.
