Published by "Henry Lemoine Publishings" as she was only 13 years old (she became then the youngest composer to have ever been published in France and her "Petite Sérénade à Luisenpark" won the 1st Prize - Europe Jeunes in Königstein (Germany), and got chosen as a compulsary piece for National French Piano Competitions such as the Leopold Bellan and Gil Graven Competitions), and Member of the SACEM (Authors and Composers Rights Protection Society) since 1990, she has composed since then many pieces for piano, violin and piano, DoubleBass, ,orchestral arrangements, a piano Concerto, composed as she was 14, for the 200th Anniversary of Mozart's death (a Concerto that she performed as a "world Première" in Asnières in France, conducted by Christian Manen ("Prix de Rome" in Composition and teacher at the National Superior Music Conservatory of Paris ), a Concerto for violin and Orchestra, an original soundtrack for the short lenght movie "Chassé Croisette" that won an award at the Cinematographic Festival, in France) in 1997...
She's often performed her pieces in concerts (solo Recitals, violin and piano concerts..) and in 1998, her "Romance for violin and piano in D Major got published by Barcarolles Publishings in France.
A rich musical course, during which Véronique Bracco has been performing in solo Recitals (in France, Germany, Finland, Italy, USA, ...), but also as an accompanist ; and most notably with the virtuoso violinist Marie Cantagrill, with whom she's been regularly touring and performing, in France and elsewhere (Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, Romania, Russia, Hungary...) ., and with whom she's also recorded two albums («Marie Cantagrill - Romantic and virtuoso album» & « Récital Slave Album» / ABP Musique Classique Prod.) that were very successfully received by the critics as well as by the audiences.
Her great interest and passion in composing remains stronger than ever ; she wishes now to expand her activity, and focus on composing more (notably by working on film-scoring too). Besides that, her love for discovering new things, working with interesting people and discovering new aspects of the musical world, as well as new Musical Universes, has brought her new collaboration opportunities, and she's now also working on miscellaneous projects for other artists, as an inside-collaborator with the ABP Musique Classique Classical (Music Label and Producer) - while, of course, still continuing her piano teaching activity too.
