My career

   Georges Daccache is one of the rare pianists who masters both Western and Lebanese repertoires for piano and chamber music, as well as Arab-Oriental music and Syriac-Maronite sacred music. His approach, based on exploring rare and exotic repertoires, makes him a sought-after pianist for musical and cultural projects that go off the beaten path.

A pianist and chameleon musician, he has given numerous concerts in Lebanon, France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Hungary, Netherlands, Colombia, and Venezuela, as a soloist, chamber musician, organist, and choir conductor. He has shared the stage with renowned musicians and ensembles such as soprano Marie-José Matar, tenor Father Naoum Khoury, mezzo-soprano Roula Safar, bass Shadi Torbey, violinist Mario Rai, flutist Ana Suhaila, violist Emmanuel Raynaud, pianist Miguel Angel Estrella, the Parisii Quartet, the Montpellier Symphony Choir, the Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra, and more…and this, by performing at the Élysée Palace, UNESCO Palace, Paris City Hall, Salle Cortot, Adyar Theater, Orion Castle Festival, Nights of the East Festival in Dijon, Musicometa Festival in Rome, Fondazione Siotto Festival in Cagliari, Palais des Nations in Geneva, French Institute in Budapest, Molière Theater in Brussels, Beaux-Arts Theater in Bogota, etc...

He is very attentive to contemporary Lebanese musical creation, which he strives to promote as widely as possible. He was alongside the CPML (Center for Lebanese Musical Heritage) at the time of its inauguration in Beirut, Lebanon in 2012. He fully dedicates himself to promoting the "Lebanese Musical Heritage" in order to make "its richness known and preserve it for future generations." In November 2019, he co-founded in Paris with his friend Zeina Saleh-Kayali, vice-president of the Center for Lebanese Musical Heritage, the first festival entirely dedicated to Lebanese composer, "Les Musicales du Liban" in Paris.

Georges graduated from Saint-Esprit University of Kaslik, Lebanon (Class of Laure Akiki), the Russian Conservatory "Serge Rachmaninoff" (Class of Claire Lizé-Mélonie), and the École Normale de Musique de Paris (Class of Michael Wladkowski for piano, Devy Erlih for chamber music). He is also a specialist in the Japanese Suzuki method for teaching music to young children starting from age three, after earning his diploma from the European Suzuki Association in London. He obtained his State Diploma in piano from the "Pôle Supérieur" for Music in Île-de-France. During his training, he received guidance from renowned pianists and teachers such as Solomon Mikowski, Ramzi Yassa, Paul Badura-Skoda, Hamish Milne, John Ferguson, and others. He also won the Second Prize at the Chatou City Competition in 2010 and is a laureate of the Flame competition in Paris and Mont-Rond-les-Bains.

He is currently a professor at the Paris Conservatory and at the Suzuki Institute in Paris, and at the same time, he holds the position of organist and choir director at the Notre-Dame du Liban Cathedral in Paris. Alongside his busy musical career, he has a PhD in economic history from Sorbonne University and has already published several articles on the subject.
