Lise de la Salle has appeared with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Staatskapelle Berlin, Staatskapelle Dresden, Münchner Philharmoniker, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Wiener Symphoniker, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre National de France, Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Filarmonica della Scala, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra and Singapore Symphony Orchestra. More recent collaborations have also taken her to the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre symphonique de Québec, Gulbenkian Orchestra, Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra and George Enescu Philharmonic.

She has worked with conductors including Herbert Blomstedt, Semyon Bychkov, Karina Canellakis, James Conlon, James Gaffigan, Fabio Luisi, Gianandrea Noseda, Antonio Pappano, Rafael Payare, Nathalie Stutzmann, Robin Ticciati, Krzysztof Urbański and Osmo Vänskä, among many others.

Her recital and festival appearances have taken her to some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including the Wiener Musikverein, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Berliner Philharmonie, Tonhalle Zürich, KKL Luzern, BOZAR Brussels, Wigmore Hall and Royal Festival Hall in London, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris and the Hollywood Bowl. She has been invited to festivals including the Verbier Festival, Klavier-Festival Ruhr, Kissinger Sommer, Festival International de Piano de La Roque d’Anthéron, George Enescu Festival, Aspen Music Festival and Ravinia Festival, as well as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra recital series and San Francisco Performances.

Her extensive discography for Naïve has been met with international critical acclaim. Among her recordings are albums devoted to Chopin and Liszt, the latter awarded a Diapason d’Or, while more recent projects reveal the breadth of her musical curiosity: When Do We Dance? explores a century of dance-inspired music, and Phantasmagoria returns to Liszt, centred around his monumental Piano Sonata in B minor.

Alongside her performing career, Lise de la Salle is deeply committed to musical transmission and regularly gives masterclasses in cities where she performs.

Lise de la Salle began playing the piano at the age of four and gave her first concert at nine, broadcast live on Radio France. She studied at the Conservatoire de Paris, worked closely with Pascal Nemirovski and was mentored by Geneviève Joy-Dutilleux. In 2004, she won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York, launching a career that has since taken her to the major musical centres of Europe, North America and Asia.
