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.
