Adam Laloum first soared onto the international stage by winning First Prize at the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition in Vevey, Switzerland, in 2009—an honor placed in the lineage of pianists like Christoph Eschenbach and Till FellnerAmazon+14Wikipedia+14AllMusic+14Wikipedia+1bechstein.com+1pianistmagazine.com+3syrosfestival.org+3The Phillips Collection+3pianistmagazine.com+1Wikipedia+1. Praised by Le Monde as possessing “that je ne sais quoi which captivates,” this victory launched a solo career that led to contracts with Mirare and later with Sony Classical. Following rigorous studies at Toulouse, Paris (Michel Béroff), Lyon (Géry Moutier), and Hamburg (Evgeni Koroliov), Laloum graced stages worldwide—from the Berlin Philharmonie to the Théâtre des Champs‑Élysées and Lucerne Festival. In 2017, he was crowned Instrumentalist of the Year at the Victoires de la Musique Classique—France’s highest classical music honor—solidifying his national and international stature. His rich discography includes award‑winning recordings of Brahms, Schumann (Diapason d’Or de l’Année, Grand Prix de l’Académie Charles Cros), and more.
