Duo Galy-González

Violin: Manon Galy (France, 25)

Piano: Jorge González (Cuba, 27)

Manon Galy and Jorge Gonzalez are both students in Artist Diploma at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris where they met some years ago. In 2018, they founded the Zeliha piano trio with the cellist Maxime Quennesson. They just record their first CD which will be released by the Mirare label in March 2020. Curious and fond of chamber music, the two musicians naturally wanted to play together. They have the chance to work regularly with some CNSMDP's teachers like Roland Daugareil, Christophe Poiget or Hortense Cartier-Bresson.

Manon Galy

Born in 1996 in Toulouse, Manon Galy began playing the violin at the age of 7 at the Cugnaux music school. At the age of 9, she entered the Toulouse Conservatory with Klaus Mühlberger then Magali Leduire, and continued her musical studies at the CRR in Paris with Suzanne Gessner. She entered the CNSMDP at the age of 16 in the class of Roland Daugareil and finished her Masters this year. Manon is the winner of several international competitions including UFAM (first prize first nominated) in Paris in 2009 and Andrea Postacchini in 2010. Tetiana Zolozova noticed her during an audition and invited her to take part in the Moscow Conservatory's international competition for which she won 2nd prize. During this competition, the Vladimir SPIVAKOV Foundation awarded him a special prize and invited him to Moscow for a recital. In 2013, she won the prize for the best interpretation of contemporary work at the Ginette Neveux competition in Avignon and in December 2014 won the CRR soloist competition in Paris, which led her to perform at the auditorium of the CRR, accompanied by the latter's symphony orchestra.
