About Me:
Barely 14 years old, he became a pupil to Madame Genevieve Jacques-Dupont at the Conservatoire National de Troyes, finishing his musical education with First Place Honors.
Mañanes returned to Spain to enter the Official Conservatory of Santander with Profesor Don Manuel Valcarcel. He won First Place prizes for the Seventh Annual "Concurso Provincial Jesus de Monasterio", the Eighth Annual "Concurso Manuel Valcarcel", and in the category of Spanish Music "Concurso Manuel Valcarcel".
With a four year scholarship founded through the "Botin Foundation" of Santander, he entered the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid under the tutelage of pianist Joaquin Soriano. During his stay in Madrid, Michel perfected other musical material including Harmony, Chamber Music, Teaching, Analytical Forms, and others. He graduated from his superior studies with maximum qualifications at the top of his class.
He received a full scholarship through the Ministry of External Affairs of Austria to enter the "Hochschule für Musik" of Vienna with professors Hans Graf, Carmen Graf-Adnet and Cristina Karajeva. Mañanes then offered excellent recitals in various concert halls around the city and participated in international interpretation contests. He is awarded the Diploma of the Hochschule fur Musik.
After his magnificent participation in Vienna in the "Neujarhskonzert", he returned to Spain to start intense teaching sessions while offering recitals in various points around the country. A number of his students have started successful musical careers, consequently, Mañanes has acquired fame as an excellent teacher.
Always involved and concerned with children and teenagers, he created the "Asociación de Juventudes Musicales de Santander" and swiftly became the President. This lead to his involvement as a musical critic within the media, when Michel Mañanes participated in the First Convention of Musical Critics of Spain in Segovia under the invitation of the "Fundacion Juan de Borbon".
His concerts generate great interest, stupendous reviews and are very well accepted by audiences. His latest concerts in Madrid, in Rome, in Nice (Mediterranean University), Varsovia, and London were organized by the Cervantes Institute. Michel has been praised for his Central European mastery of the art, his subtle imitative sound, and for his cutting edge versions of Spanish Classical pieces, these are considered extraordinary results. Critically acclaimed as always enthusiastic, his interpretations as rigorous, elegant, and always convincing; worthy of the best interpretative style that in many ways exemplifies his unusual capacity to communicate; to move you without ever losing the purest of fidelities to the musical styles.
Currently living in Madrid, Spain, Michel regularly plays with orchestras and as a solist. He teaches music and works as a music critic, while maintaining the rigorous schedule of a dedicated classical concert pianist.
