Chevallier studied piano at the Conservatoires of Nancy and Strasbourg (class of
Hélène Boschi) then with
Bruno Rigutto in Paris. She then continued her training at the
Royal Conservatory of Brussels with and
Guy Van Waas. She received a
First Prize for piano and
chamber music. It was during a
masterclass given by
Jos van Immerseel that she was fascinated by the
fortepiano and therefore interested, as musician and researcher, in the historical contexts of the instruments and their technical evolution. Since 2004 she has been teaching the fortepiano at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Since 2007, she has been a member of the Jury of the International Competition of fortepiano organized by the Festival Musica Antiqua of
Bruges. She is also a member of the jury of the 1st Frédéric Chopin International Competition on period instruments. Chevallier has built up a collection of pianos dating from the period 1842 to 1920. == Recordings ==
