Anaïs Cassiers
Due to her Chinese, French, and Belgian origins and her childhood partly spent in Georgia, Syria, and Morocco, Anaïs’s multicultural background has led her to develop a rich and open approach to classical music, encouraging her to combine her Western and Eastern heritage into a single musical identity.
Winner of several first prizes in competitions in Morocco between 2008 and 2010, she returned to Belgium in 2011 and continued her musical development at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels with Eliane Reyes.
In 2018, Anaïs joined the Artist-in-Residence program at the Ingesund Piano Center in Arvika, Sweden, under the artistic and piano direction of pedagogue Julia Mustonen-Dahlkvist.
She later obtained her Master’s degree from the Haute École de Musique de Genève in the class of Cédric Pescia, alongside studies with pianist and pedagogue Prisca Benoit.
Anaïs has been invited to numerous music festivals such as Musiq3, Chopin Nohant, Lisztomanias, Chopin Genève, Gstaad New Year Festival, Helsingborg, and Victoria Spring Classics, among others, and performs in some of Europe’s most prestigious concert halls.
Anaïs is a prizewinner of several international competitions, including Viseu (2023) and Massarosa (2025), a semifinalist at Jaén (2026), and received the Nany Philippart Foundation Prize in Belgium (2025).
She is also a member of the Junior Jury of the prestigious Géza Anda Competition in 2024.
Since September 2024, Anaïs has been studying in the class of Olivier Gardon at the École Normale de Musique de Paris and will also join the Artist-in-Residence program at the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth in Belgium in September 2026.
