Mirabelle Kajenjeri is a French pianist with ‘a unique touch, performing the most difficult acrobatics with a (discreet) smile, disarmingly natural and generous’ (La Libre Belgique).

Born in 1998 to parents of Burundian and Ukrainian origin, Mirabelle draws deep inspiration from her multicultural heritage, a subject she explored in particular as a guest speaker at TEDxRoubaix.

The year 2024 marks a turning point in her career with growing international recognition. She begins an artistic residency at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Belgium and joins the Gautier Capuçon Foundation. In 2025, she is named Laureate of the Queen Elisabeth International Competition and makes her debut at the Berlin Philharmonic alongside the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, conducted by Tianyi Lu.

Her first album, Étincelles (KNS Classical, 2022), offers a journey from Beethoven to Fafchamps, carried by a sense of colour and inner rhythm that has become her signature.

She has received numerous awards: 1st Prize at the Santa Cecilia International Piano Competition (2021), 2nd Prize at the Kissinger KlavierOlymp (2023), and semi-finalist in the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition (2023) and Cleveland International Piano Competition (2024).

Her career has been supported by institutions such as the Safran Foundation, Wilhelm Kempff Foundation, Lieven Piano Foundation and Yamaha Music Europe Foundation.

She performs internationally at festivals such as Flagey Piano Days, Kissinger Sommer and Piano Days Cleveland, and collaborates with orchestras such as the Brussels Philharmonic, the Philharmonie de Baden-Baden, the Real Filharmonía de Galicia, the Orchestre de Picardie and the Orquestra Filarmónica Portuguesa.

Alongside her concert career, she is actively involved in music education for young audiences and regularly participates in interdisciplinary projects, including corporate events.

A graduate of the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover and the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, she studied with Anna Malikova, Ewa Kupiec, Mikhaïl Faerman and Vladimir Soultanov. She was introduced to the piano at the age of five by Natalia Grebennikova in Kyiv.

A versatile musician, she is also a passionate violinist, having studied both instruments since childhood. In 2018, she obtained a Bachelor's degree in violin with great distinction from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.
