Camille Bruneau

Camille Bruneau began playing the piano at the age of six in the small French town of Saint-Dizier. She later continued her musical education at the Paris Conservatoire (5th arrondissement), where she obtained a diploma in advanced piano studies in 2001. In search of further artistic refinement, she attended numerous master classes, notably at the Nuits Pianistiques Festival in Aix-en Provence, where she worked with the renowned pianists Jacques Rouvier and Frédéric Aguessy. She also studied at the Rachmaninov Conservatory in the class of Elena Kroon from 2016-2020 and at the Schola Cantorum in the class of Bruno Rigutto from 2018-2020.

In 2020, an arm injury forced her to stop playing the piano for several months. She then embarked on an extensive rehabilitation programme under the guidance of Edna Golandsky, director of the Golandsky Institute in New York and a specialist in the Taubman approach to piano playing. She returned to the stage in 2022.

From 2022 she will continue her piano studies with Daniel Vayman at the music school in Zug.

Alongside her musical journey, she pursued rigorous academic studies, obtaining a Master of Business Administration from HEC Paris in 2013, complemented by legal studies (Master of Law in International Taxation in 2013, Paris Bar in 2015 and LLM in International Taxation in Berne in 2024). She practised as a tax lawyer in France for five years before moving to Zug, Switzerland, where she has been a tax advisor in an international firm for over two years.

In November 2024, she welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Victoria.

Despite the demanding nature of her studies and career, her passion for the piano has always found a way to flourish. She has taken part in several international piano competitions, including twice at the Cologne Piano Competition (2023 and 2024), where she won the prize for the best interpretation of a work by a female composer, and at the WroClavile Competition in Wroclaw (2024), where she won a silver medal.

In addition to the piano, she has a deep love of dance, notably ballroom dancing, having been a three-time regional champion in competitive ballroom dancing and a semi-finalist in the French National Championships between 2015 and 2020.
