duo b!z'art • André Roe • Geoffrey Baptiste
Geoffrey has always been deeply attracted to ensemble music and the pleasure of communication it provides. That is why, as soon as he finished his studies at the Conservatories of Liège and Brussels, he decided with pianist André Roe to found the duo b!z’art.
At the same time, in 2006 he joined the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège as an orchestral pianist and celesta player, with which he gives many concerts each year in Belgium and abroad. He also collaborates occasionally with other chamber music ensembles, as well as with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra and the Zuidnederland Philharmonic.
In January 2010, he played the Fantasy on Polish Airs by F. Chopin, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège under the direction of François-Xavier Roth.
He is also a laureate of numerous competitions in Belgium, France and Italy, including the Dexia Classics competition where he was rewarded both in chamber music and piano soloist.
He also shares his passion for music as a piano teacher and accompanist at the Ourthe-Vesdre Amblève music academy in Remouchamps.
