Charlène Bertholet

Charlène Bertholet began the piano with Bruno Crabbé. She was admitted to the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where she studied piano with Mikhail Faerman, while benefiting from the advice of Johan Schmidt and Yuka Izutsu. She then continued her studies with Roberto Giordano at the Institut Supérieur de Musique et de Pédagogie in Namur, obtaining her Master's degree in piano in 2020. At the same institution, Charlène began her organ studies in 2018, which she is currently completing at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles with Benoît Mernier. She also enriched her experience during an Erasmus year at the Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna in Pier Damiano Peretti's class in 2022-2023.

As an organist, Charlène plays in several churches in Brussels and contributed to the recording of Olivier Messiaen's organ works at Toul Cathedral (F).

She has a keen interest in both modern and early chamber music, both as a pianist and as an organist. She is a member of the Philea keyboard trio and the Myosotis ensemble.
