The French-born pianist Diana Cooper studied in Paris and in London at the Royal College of Music. She is a laureate of many international competitions and is particularly noted for her Chopin playing. Chopin is the focus for this recital with a sequence of famous works, framed by a Mozart sonata and some dazzling Ravel.

Diana won 1st prize at the Brest Chopin Competition, 1st prize at the Halina Czerny-Stefanska International Competition in Poland and 1st prize at the Concurso Internacional de Piano de Vigo (Spain). Diana Cooper has been invited to perform in various venues and festivals in France and abroad, including the Nohant Chopin Festival and the Ysaye Festival in Belgium.

Diana was born to a French-Spanish mother and a British father. She began studying piano at the Tarbes Conservatoire with Jean-Paul Cristille. His teaching and support had a major impact on her musical development. She made her first solo recital at the age of 9.

Passionate about classical music from her earliest age, it is on stage that Diana Cooper attains artistic fulfilment.
