Lise Khatib is a French pianist and teacher. Trained at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne (HEMU) under Pascal Godart and at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève (HEM) under Marc Pantillon, she graduated with two Master of Arts degrees, in pedagogy and musical performance respectively. Driven by a desire to cultivate her artistic personality through contact with great pianists, this passionate artist quickly became close to Tomoko Ogasawara, Jérôme Granjon, Cédric Pescia, Avedis Kouyoudjian, and Antoine Mourlas.

Eager to expand her repertoire and knowledge, Lise Khatib has also trained in numerous scholarly disciplines. She holds a degree in musicology from the Sorbonne and a DEM (Diplôme d'Etudes Musicales) in musical analysis (CRR de Paris). She has also taken courses in song and lieder accompaniment and organ. Her talent has been recognized internationally and rewarded with several awards, notably at the Concours Musicale de France and the BTHVN competition in Vienna.

Favoring direct and intense contact with audiences, Lise Khatib performs primarily in solo recitals and chamber music. Her preferred repertoire is French Impressionist and German music. Through her programs, she is also committed to promoting the rich repertoire of female composers. She is regularly invited to festivals in France and Switzerland, such as Pianopolis, Musiques Baroques in Savennières, and the Saint-Ursanne festival.

Her creative temperament has led her to various chamber music projects. She notably forms the duo La Voix du Piano with soprano Elisabeth Montabone, and together they hosted a radio program (RTS-Espace 2) on the theme of the eloquence of the language of sounds. Another duo brings her together with trumpeter Marco Esperti, and this collaboration led to the release of a CD, "Le vent du XXe siècle." More recently, she co-founded the trio Circé with two musicians from the Loire region, clarinetist Emilie Jacquin and cellist Camille Renault. Lise Khatib has had the opportunity to perform as a soloist several times in Mozart's 17th Concerto and Beethoven's 3rd Concerto.

A committed educator, Lise Khatib teaches piano at the Le Mans and Tours Conservatories. She is committed to offering students the opportunity to share music through creative and interdisciplinary projects.

To raise awareness among a wide audience about "artistic" music and the history of female composers, Lise also created a show for young people, "La légende de Mélanie."

Combining her skills in teaching, performance, and scholarship, she also stands out as a music mediator. She has led several cultural events with specific mediations, such as Stravinsky's "Histoire du soldat," "Le conte des mille et une touche," and "Une composer avec Lise" at the Présence Compositrices festival. In addition, in most of her concerts, Lise Khatib delivers sensitive, accessible explanations directly linked to the music, which are always a unanimous success.

Sensitive to the challenges of the world in which she lives, her vocation is fueled by the hope of a more beautiful society where art, as a source of intangible happiness, brings greatness of spirit, unity, and sharing.
