Born in 1992 into a family of scholars and mathematicians in Berkeley, California, Lillian Gordis fell in love with the harpsichord at age 9 and never looked back. Five years later, Pierre Hanta茂 discovered her during a tour to the United States and, captivated by her touch, he encouraged her to move to France for further studies. Gordis moved to Paris at 16 where she was mentored by Hanta茂 and Bertrand Cuiller.
Hailed as a 鈥淢artha Argerich of the harpsichord鈥� (ResMusica), Gordis regularly performs as a soloist in festivals across Europe and the United States and plays frequently in a duo with J茅r么me Hanta茂.听

It was a 鈥渃oup de c艙ur nouveaut茅鈥� on France Musique (Relax !, Lionel Esparza) and was also featured on the program 鈥淟e Bach du Dimanche鈥� (Corinne Schneider).
