Announcing the 2026 U.S. Debut Scholarship Laureates
We are delighted to announce Ms. Anna Pierre and Mr. Virgile Roche as the laureates of the 2026 U.S. Debut Scholarship. Following auditions held on November 6 at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, the jury was deeply impressed by their artistic depth, individuality, and musical maturity.
Anna and Virgile will represent the Conservatoire in their U.S. debut recitals at Carnegie Hall in New York and at the Embassy of France in Washington, D.C., in 2026.
Our Society expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris for its exceptional partnership, as well as to all participating candidates for the excellence they brought to this year’s auditions.
We look forward to supporting these two remarkable pianists as they take this important step in their artistic careers.
