Katsaris first began to play the piano when he was four, in Cameroon where he grew up. His first teacher was Marie-Gabrielle Louwerse.[1]

He studied piano at the Paris Conservatoire with Aline van Barentzen and Monique de la Bruchollerie, and in 1969 he won the piano First Prize.[2] As well as piano, Katsaris also studied chamber music with René Leroy and Jean Hubeau, and he won First Prize for this in 1970.[3]

Katsaris gave his first public concert in Paris, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées on 8 May 1966. He performed the Hungarian Fantasy by Liszt, with the Orchestre Symphonique d'Ile-de-France conducted by René-Pierre Chouteau. Since then he has carried on to perform with many orchestras and conductorsfréquentes.[4]

Katsaris has recorded the complete Liszt transcriptions of Beethoven's nine symphonies, reissued by Warner Classics in 2006.[5] He has also recorded the music of Mozart, Chopin, Grieg, and other composers, including the rare piano version of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde with Brigitte Fassbaender and Thomas Moser.
