Racha Arodaky is a French pianist born in Damascus, Syria.

She studied at the National Conservatory of Music and Dance in Paris in the class of Dominique Merlet. After receiving her premier prix de conservatoire at age 16, she went to study at the Moscow Conservatory with Yevgeny Malinin. She has also studied with Murray Perahia.

She pursued a career as a recitalist in venues as diverse as the Salle Pleyel and the Salle Gaveau in Paris, Barge Music in New York, the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow, the concert halls of Seoul and Busan, Manege in Reims, Auditorium Strasbourg, Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes and Cairo Opera.

Arodaky has been invited to festivals in France, including the Chopin Festival in Bagatelle, Piano aux Jacobins, Flâneries Musicales de Reims, the Domaine du Rayol, Les Heures Musicales du Haut-Anjou, Pionsat Castle Festival, the Festival Le Touquet Pianissime Sannois Festival, the Chopin Festival in Nohant, the Festival Les Musiciennes on the island of Ouessant, and the Parc Floral de Vincennes. Outside France, she has been invited to the Valldemossa Chopin Festival in Majorca, Schleswig-Holstein in Germany and Brighton, England.

Over the last five years, Arodaky has been the artistic director of several festivals (the Musique à la cour piano festival at the Château de Solliès-Pont in the Var, France, the Musiques Nomades Festival at Théâtre de l’Onde in Velizy and the Fêtes Musicales du Château de Pionsat).

Her five recordings obtained outstanding reviews as well as large audience. ln 2001, she received the 'Outstanding Artist' award at MIDEM from ADAMI for her album of recording of Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne WOrte and Variations sérieuses on the BNL label, which was also acclaimed by the French musical press, winning awards from Le Monde de la Musique ('Choc') and Classica magazines ('Recommandé'). ln his review in Le Monde de la Musique, Jean Roy wrote: 'This recording confirms Racha Arodaky's talent, which includes virtuosity, intelligence and sensitivity in equal measure.'

Released in October 2003, her recording of Scriabin's Preludes on Zig-Zag Territoires was also widely praised in France ('R10' in Répertoire, **** in Le Monde de la Musique and 'Recommandé' in Classica). It also met with considerable success in Europe, more particu!arly in Germany, Switzerland and Belgium.

Over her last three records (Domenico Scarlatti’s sonata with the Zig Zag label in 2006, GF Haendel’s suite in 2009 and JS Bach’s partitas 1 to 3 in 2011 with her own label Air Note), she has been investigating the Baroque Music Repertoire on modern piano with, again, distinctive reviews and considerable audience.
