Curriculum Vitae:

Victor Emanuel Dijon von Monteton, the scion of an ancient family of French counts, was born in 1984 and began taking piano lessons at the age of three and a half. He began to attract the attention of the public and the media with his very first recitals. Among his teachers were Jiri Malat in Prague, Peter Eicher in Mannheim, Jonna Panula in Helsinki and Olga Rissin-Morenova at the Musikhochschule in Karlsruhe, where he graduated summa cum laude in February 2004.

Monteton soon left the "wunderkind" status behind him and ranks today among the most clearly profiled and versatile musicians of his generation. Both his unique sensitivity and his ability to penetrate a work's most profound secrets inform his interpretations of classical and romantic piano literature. Among the many orchestras and ensembles he has performed with most recently are the Prague and St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestras, the Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg, the Berlin Kammerphilharmonie, the Stuttgart Philharmonic, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. In 1998 EMI released his debut CD featuring works by Mozart, and in 2002 BMG Classics issued a highly noted recording of Monteton playing the Beethoven Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 5 with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields under Sir Neville Marriner.

In November 2001, Monteton made his conducting debut with the Kurpfälzisches Kammerorchester. This was followed by a number of appearances and concert tours through Germany and the U.S., during which he conducted works by Mozart and Beethoven from the piano. His extraordinary accomplishments have already won him several awards, including the European cultural award "Prix de l'Espoir d'Europe" in 1999, the Advancement Prize of the European Cultural and Economic Community Pro Europa in 2003, and the Kulturpreis Baden in 2004. The European Cultural Prize will be conferred to him in September 2004 at the Paulskirche in Frankfurt am Main.
