 k Earth\n\nAcclaimed pianist Marouan Benabdallah is indisputably the leadi
 ng representative of his native Morocco on the international concert stage
 \, having recently performed debut recitals at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Ha
 ll\, the Kennedy Center\, the Aspen Music Festival\, Teatro Colon with the
  Buenos Aires Philharmonic Orchestra\, the Castleton Festival Orchestra un
 der the baton of Lorin Maazel.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\nWith a musical heritage de
 eply rooted in the Hungarian tradition\, Mr. Benabdallah received his form
 al training at the Bela Bartok Conservatory and the Franz Liszt Academy in
  Budapest\, and in 2008\, was presented with the Medal of the Hungarian Pa
 rliament for his achievement in music - an honour he shares with such arti
 sts as Placido Domingo\, José Cura and others.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\nNotably\,
  in 2011 Marouan Benabdallah gave his debut at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Ha
 ll\, prompting the New York Times to praise his “resourceful pianism\, l
 yrical instincts and thoughtfulness.” The attending Anthony Tommasini we
 nt on to write: “[Marouan Benabdallah] played with rich colorings and fl
 air\, and brought tenderness to the lyrical musings and vigor to the burst
 s of chords and dizzying passagework. How he managed to memorize music tha
 t seems such a succession of arbitrary ideas is beyond me.”&nbsp\;&nbsp\
 ; Shortly after\, Benabdallah took the stage at the Kennedy Center for his
  debut at the famed hall as part of the Hayes Series\, presented by the Wa
 shington Performing Arts Society.&nbsp\; Reporting on the performance\, th
 e Washington Post commended the young pianist for his “keyboard agility\
 , even touch and ability to highlight a single voice in the midst of a com
 plicated texture\,” as well as his "rhythmic energy and a compelling sen
 se of momentum." Although still on the onset of his career\, Marouan Benab
 dallah has been acclaimed for his “cultivated sense of architecture and 
 harmonic implication” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)\, “stunning interpretat
 ion [Liszt]” (Le Journal Saône-et-Loire)\, “sheer ease and mastery of
  the piano” (Metrolife)\, “skillful control” (Daily Times) and a “
 stunning virtuosity…devoid of smoke and mirrors” (The Nice -Matin).&nb
 sp\; However\, his acclaim is not limited to the press.&nbsp\; He has been
  described by legendary pianist Ferenc Rados\, who served as a mentor to t
 he young artist\, as a “remarkable musician”\, while famed pianist Dan
 iel Barenboim commended his “spontaneity” and “natural playing.”&n
 bsp\; With an ever-growing reputation\, Mr. Benabdallah has been presented
  before such luminaries as Zubin Mehta\, Ivan Fischer and Antonio Pappano\
 , has been invited to perform for former First Lady Laura Bush\, and is en
 joying an exponentially growing schedule.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\nPossessing a de
 ep musical interest that exceeds the confines of his instrument\, Mr. Bena
 bdallah also trained as a conductor during his studies at the Bela Bartok 
 Conservatory\, where he was a student of Gabor Eckhardt.&nbsp\; In 2007\, 
 he received his diploma from the Franz Liszt Academy under the guidance of
  Sandor Falvai and Kalman Drafi after a triumphant performance of Rachmani
 noff’s Third piano concerto.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\nMarouan Benabdallah makes 
 his home between Paris\, Budapest\, Rabat and Washington D.C. Marouan Bena
 bdallah is a Yamaha Artist.&nbsp\;\n\n
