Paris-born pianist Victoire-Theodora Pruvost knew from a young age that her destiny was music. She currently leads an active performing life both as a soloist and a chamber musician and regularly performs all over Europe as well as in the United States, Australia and Russia. Passionate about travelling and connecting with new cultures as a source of inspiration for her musicianship, she joined RWS Entertainment in 2022 as part of the Lincoln Center Stage, bringing the highest quality of chamber music to audiences onboard Holland America Line ships. On land, she is regularly invited for chamber music and solo opportunities in venues such as Wigmore Hall, Holywell Music Room, Salle Gaveau, St George’s Hanover Square, and at the Festival Cord’ Heraut, Festival de la Gente… Her interpretations of G. Gershwin and M. Ravel aired on Radio Lyon Fourviere 88.4 FM.



She has been a Young Artist of the French-American Piano Society since 2016, which gave her the opportunity to regularly perform in New York over the years in venues such as the Lang Recital Hall or the Consulat de France. Other accolades include a Dorothy McKenzie Artist Recognition Award Prize, and she is a 2020 Highly Commented Artist of the Joan Chissell-Schumann Competition, a finalist of the Leopold Bellan Music Competition as well as a Theo Lieben Scholar for the International Piano Academy Lake Como.

She graduated in summer 2022 with the prestigious Artist Diploma in Solo Performance from the Royal College of Music in London in the classes of Dmitri Alexeev and Dina Parakhina. From the same institution, she holds a Master in of Performance with Honours studying with Gordon Fergus-Thompson and Simon Lepper. She previously studied in France at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon with Marie-Josephe Jude, Jerome Granjon, Jean-Claude Pennetier, Roger Muraro and Alain Planès. She also furthered her skills at the very selective International Lake Como Piano Academy between 2014-17 under the guidance of William Grant Nabore and Stanislav Ioudenitch.

Fascinated by the world of art songs, she was selected in 2021 by the Oxford Lieder Festival for their Young Artist Program. In that same year, she also received masterclasses from Dame Sarah Connolly at the London Song Festival. She is part of the Westminster Opera Company and has been the repetiteur and assistant music director since 2021, participating in productions of E.Humperdink’s Hansel&Gretel and is looking forward to their 2023 production of W. Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro. Her love for chamber music also lead her to undertake a Cycle Concertiste de Musique de Chambre with the Trio Atlas under the guidance of the Ysaïe Quartet.



Other highlights of her career include performing L. Beethoven Concerto n.3 with symphonic orchestra, D. Shostakovich Piano Quintet with the Quatuor Danel and a series of recitals in Australia hailed as a “triumph” by AusArtsHub Review.

She is looking forward to recording her debut album with Sheva Label at the end of 2023.
