Eugène Carmona

Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, Eugène Carmona began his piano studies in France at age 10. Shortly after starting out, he won a prize at the Steinway competition in Paris. He then continued his studies in the French capital with Igor Lazko, Claudio Chaiquin, and Gabriel Tacchino (a student of Poulenc).

In 2011, Eugène was accepted into the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne in the class of Pascal Godart. He earned a Bachelor's degree in 2014 and a Master's in Piano in 2016.

He was introduced to conducting in France with Philippe Cambreling before joining the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne in 2017 for a Master's in Orchestral Conducting in the class of Aurélien Azan Zielinski.

In 2019, Eugène became a scholarship holder of the Cercle Wagner Romand foundation. He has benefited from the guidance of great conductors such as Lior Shambadal, Alexander Polyanichko, Kaspar Zehnder and Florian Ziemen.

More recently, he has had the opportunity to conduct orchestras such as the Moravian Philharmonic in the Czech Republic, the Baden-Baden Philharmonic Orchestra, the Youth Symphony Orchestra in Saint Petersburg, and the Sinfonietta de Lausanne.
