Beatrice Berrut
Beatrice Berrut, born on April 19, 1985 in Geneva, is a Swiss classical pianist.

Biography
She graduated from the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" in Berlin, where she followed the guidance of Galina Iwanzowa, a Heinrich Neuhaus student, and earned a post graduate diploma at the Royal Irish Academy of Music.

Beatrice Berrut is considered a specialist of Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, as Gramophone (magazine) writes : "Berrut distinguishes herself as a musician with bold ideas of considerable originality and possessing the courage of her convictions. Clearly conversant with Liszt’s ways and means, she imbues each of these three formidable works with distinct character and atmosphere." She also has attracted attention for transcribing some of Gustav Mahler's symphonies for the piano.

Her concerts have brought her on Europe's major stages such as the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Tonhalle, Zürich, the Wigmore Hall, with orchestras such as the Dortmunder Philharmoniker, the Orchestre national des Pays de la Loire, or the Kraków Philharmonic.

A Bösendorfer artist, she recorded her three most recent albums on a Bösendorfer piano.

She is a Scotch expert and was awarded a diploma from the University of the Highlands and Islands.
