Jean-Marc Savelli (born 18 October 1955) is a French pianist.
Known by the general public for his interpretations of works from Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin, Jean-Marc Savelli also distinguished himself in the classical repertoire with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven, and in the Impressionist repertoire of Claude Debussy.
Born in Mulhouse, Alsace, France, from an Alsatian mother, Marie-Louise Schreyer, (herself coming by her mother from a family of travelling musicians who performed in Eastern Europe, including in front of the Imperial Court of Russia, before settling in Alsace in the Lower Rhine), and a Corsican father, Gratien Savelli, met on the hazard of the Second World War, who often was singing "lamentus" Corsicans songs as well as other traditional Corsican songs. Established with his wife in Mulhouse, he nevertheless remained nostalgic for his native Corsica.
JM Savelli, soaked in this environment, is registered at the age of 8 years by his parents at the National Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art of Mulhouse beside Suzanne Muller-Gunst, piano teacher, who had wished, upon JM SAVELLI granting of the first prize at the Conservatoire National de Musique de Mulhouse, that Jean-Marc SAVELLI (first prize that he had obtained at the age of 12 years from a unanimous jury) could continue his studies at the National Conservatory of Music Basel (Switzerland).
Afterwards this is Paris and the Master Pierre Sancan, French pianist, that his parents choose, so that he could continue his musical studies, and prepare to join the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique in Paris (CNSMD)(Conservatoire de Paris). He succeeded his entrance exam and entered the class of Monique de La Bruchollerie, French international pianist, whose great career was abruptly stopped following a car accident.
