About Cédric

The 2025/26 season sees Cédric Tiberghien perform with Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, Warsaw Philharmonic, Trondheim Symphony, Antwerp Symphony, Bournemouth Symphony and Boulez Ensemble, working with Karina Canellakis, Thomas Guggeis, Nuno Coelho and Ruth Reinhardt among others. He also gives recitals and chamber concerts in London, Paris, Madrid, Geneva and Milan, including lieder with Stéphane Degout and Beethoven’s sonatas for piano and violin on period instruments with Alina Ibragimova.

Highlights of the previous three seasons include concertos with Berliner Philharmoniker, San Francisco Symphony, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Washington's National Symphony, Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, Atlanta Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Houston Symphony, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Orchestre National de France and Orchestre National de Lyon, with conductors Cristian Măcelaru, Simone Young, Matthias Pintscher, Rafael Payare, Thierry Fischer and Stéphane Denève.

Cédric is especially known for his interpretations of classical, French and contemporary repertoire. He recently completed his three-season traversal of Beethoven’s complete variations for piano for Wigmore Hall and Harmonia Mundi, while his period instrument recording of Ravel’s Piano Concertos with François-Xavier Roth and Les Siècles was shortlisted for a 2023 Gramophone Award. That same year saw his first collaboration with sound artist Matthias Schack-Arnott on The John Cage Project – a reimagining of the Sonatas and Interludes featuring a kinetic sound sculpture. Having been performed across Australia to critical acclaim, the project comes to Europe in 2026/27.

Cédric is based in Nimes

  • Sweelinck, Bach, Benjamin, Beethoven, and Mozart

    Wigmore Hall
    Jun 2023
    • From Sweelinck to Benjamin, every performance a jewel, this was a recital as enjoyable as it was ingenious and instructive.

  • Ravel with Les Siècles, François-Xavier Roth and Stéphane Degout (CD release)

    May 2022
    • ... despite a plethora of other outstanding readings, here’s another game-changer. Tiberghien brings to the first movement [G major concerto] a sense of playful energy, flexibility and an acute awareness of colour....Tiberghien imbues the long solo-piano opening of the Adagio with such a confiding quality that you don’t want it to end… Beautifully recorded, this is headily seductive and has Award-winner written all over it. But don’t take my word for it – go and listen to it post-haste.

    • Cédric Tiberghien, an exceptional artist from start to finish..

    • Hands down, Maurice Ravel's piano concertos have surely never been heard on CD like this before...

  • Schumann, Beethoven & Webern

    Wigmore Hall, London
    Feb 2021
    • …impressive recital, a thoughtful tapestry of piano variations... As it was I tiptoed away from the streamed wonderland of Wigmore Hall thankful anew for Tiberghien’s clear and essentially French art incisive, poetic, colourful, well tailored.

    • This terrific French pianist proves you don’t need to be a populist... I don’t know by what magic Tiberghien expressed the idea of a soul released from suffering, but in the last resigned moments of this beautiful piece, he managed it.
