She is a highly sought-after solo pianist and performs with the most prestigious conductors and orchestras, including the Orchestre de Paris, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, the New Japan Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. She has been invited to tour the United States by Daniel Barenboim and to play with Gidon Kremer and the Kremerata Baltica, and also appears regularly under the direction of Louis Langrée. Claire-Marie Le Guay gives recitals at many leading festivals, among them the Festival International de Piano de La Roque d’Anthéron, the MDR Musiksommer and Klavier-Festival Ruhr in Germany and the Lockenhaus Festival in Austria, and regularly performs chamber music, notably with the cellist François Salque, forming an elegiac duo as in their Schubert recording released in 2018 on MIRARE.

In the course of a career that began at the age of fifteen, and thanks to her exceptionally open-minded attitude and her inexhaustible musical curiosity, Claire-Marie Le Guay has built up a vast repertoire ranging from Bach to Escaich and is the dedicatee of numerous works by composers of our time.
