Wilhem Latchoumia

Pianist Wilhem Latchoumia has been equally successful in traditional repertory and in contemporary music. He offers unusual programs that incorporate the two in fresh ways. Latchoumia won a Musicians of Tomorrow Award from the Hewlett-Packard Foundation in 2004 and placed highly at the Montsalvagje International Contemporary Music Competition in Girona, Spain. In 2006, he won six prizes in total at France's Orléans International Piano Competition. Two years later, Latchoumia made his recording debut with Impressões. Latchoumia has issued several more albums, including This Is America: Adams, Bernstein, Glass, Monk, with pianist Vanessa Wagner, and Julius Eastman: Three Extended Pieces for Four Pianos in 2021.
