Born in France Michel Béroff started his studies at the Nancy Conservatoire and then went on to the Paris Conservatoire, where he won the first prize in 1966. Michel made his debut in Paris as a recitalist and was highly acclaimed. He then was the top-prize winner at the Olivier Messiaen International Piano Competition. He also studied the art of conducting Orchestras and piano repertoire for left hand.
