Nathalie Négro
A classical pianist, Nathalie Négro soon turned her attention to contemporary music and creation.
Favoring encounters between musicians of different aesthetics and cultures, she likes to break down barriers between genres. Her musical commitments include the visibility of women in music, the democratization of access to contemporary music and support for the younger generation, all of which she also supports through European projects.

PIANO AND CO
was founded in 2003 by pianist Nathalie NÉGRO. In 2021, PIANO AND CO will be the first musical company in the PACA region to be directed by a woman, under the auspices of the French Ministry of Culture.
Contemporary creation is the artistic axis around which all the company's activities revolve: creation, transmission, dissemination, research and innovation. The company has extended its activities to include mentoring and support for young artists' projects. PIANO AND CO contributes to the valorization of contemporary repertoire as much as to the renewal of its artistic expression, notably by crossing fields as diverse as digital, visual arts, ancient or traditional music, urban poetry... Raising awareness and developing audiences for contemporary music through projects that bring together amateurs and professionals are among the company's main objectives. Artistic Director Nathalie NÉGRO has a long-standing experience of artistic and cultural initiatives, whether in schools or universities, with social, medical or prison groups, for adults, students or priority audiences. In terms of distribution, the company's creations are regularly performed on the national live performance network, and are on the program of numerous national stages.
In recent years, the structure has been piloting multi-partner European projects based on contemporary music, in the form of schemes that systematically include creation, research and dissemination. In 2017, PIANO AND CO conceived Europe In C, supported by Erasmus +. Built around the work of Terry RILEY, this project involved conservatories, universities and research centers in Italy, Greece, Germany, Belgium and France. Recently, PIANO AND CO developed Musical Bounce Back, with the aim of promoting women in music. In 2023, Musical Bounce Back was awarded the "UN Women France/Génération Égalité" label for all its Europe-wide dissemination work. PIANO AND CO is currently piloting Mind the gap , a new European project that will involve 9 female composers in creating a musical exquisite corpse, and will raise awareness in the professional world and the media of the issue of visibility for female composers. As the only structure in France equipped with the LoLa (Low Latency) high-speed digital transmission system, PIANO AND CO is encouraging its various international partners to use this tool, which enables rehearsals and performances to be carried out remotely with no latency.
