Sarah Coponat has built herself an incredible career - but her path is not for the faint of heart. Could you imagine doing live-streamed improvisations four times a week, for YEARS? Terrifying, right? I loved this interview and I know you will too.

A true alchemist of the piano, Sarah Coponat unites technical complexity and raw emotion in a style at once modern, neoclassical romantic and cinematic. Between acoustic piano, electronic and organic textures, she captivates with her haunting powerful voice and surprises with unusual instruments, down to the kazoo. She s a real, modern romantic composer and piano virtuoso.

She started composing at 5 years old and is an internationally recognised improviser, she has performed in Rolling Stone Magazine's New York studios and plays in France and abroad (Senegal, Berlin, Amsterdam…). Her online improvisation concerts have built a devoted community that earned her the nickname "the Chopin of Twitch".

A prolific artist, she has a new album coming out and she records produces and releases everything independently with her brother Sébastien Coponat at the Coponat Records studio that they created in the south of france ( open to other artists ) . She composes for video games (PlayStation) and award-winning short films, haute couture runaways..

Getting there wasn't easy - she built everything independently, working closely with her brother Sebastien. She went through a real journey of finding her freedom, breaking from the classical mold, in music and in her life. She studied math and physics at high level before quitting everything to pursue music without any idea of how everything would turn out and no contact in the music industry. her last shows were sold out in Paris.
