FCA Podcast, EP. 3: Alexandre Kantorow at FCA - Career, Confidence & the Classical World Ahead

🎙 FCA Podcast – Episode 3 Alexandre Kantorow Joins FCA: Reflections on Career, Confidence & the Classical World Ahead In this third episode of the FCA Podcast, founder and director Emilie Callesen Doulcet sits down with French pianist Alexandre Kantorow - winner of the Tchaikovsky Competition, international soloist, and one of the most singular artistic voices in classical music today. Filmed at the École Normale de Musique de Paris - where Kantorow once studied - the conversation also marks the announcement of his upcoming role as professor at French Connection Academy in summer 2026. The episode opens with Kantorow performing Liebestod (Isolde’s Love Death) S.447 by Wagner - transcribed by Liszt. This musical offering was a spontaneous idea captured without proper tuning or recording setup - a true, atmospheric gesture in the spirit of place and presence. Together, Emilie and Alexandre explore: The realities of building a meaningful career in classical music Handling pressure, competition, and artistic vulnerability What makes a great teacher — and how Kantorow approaches the role Balancing musical identity with the rhythms of real life Why long-term thinking (and short-term chaos) shape every musician’s path What the future might hold for classical music, and what young artists need most today Whether you're a student, artist, passionate about music or cultural collaborator, this conversation offers a rare window into the making of a musician - and the values guiding the next generation of musical leadership. 🔗 Learn more about Alexandre Kantorow: https://www.alexandrekantorow.com 🌍 Discover FCA and sign up for our newsletter: https://frenchconnectionacademy.com Video & Sound: Clément Gaultier-Falguière #FCAPodcast #AlexandreKantorow #Piano #ClassicalMusic #MusicianLife #FCA2026
