Jean-Michel Blais

Jean-Michel Blais, a Quebec pianist and composer, performs at Kings Place in London in a classical recital.

Jean-Michel Blais is a pianist, composer and performer from Quebec, Canada, born in Nicolet in 1984. The project has been active since 2015, and the first album, "Il", was released in 2016. Blais works mainly at the piano, combining composed material with a classical approach to the instrument.

In this recital, the programme is built around solo piano, as the artist's activity centres on that instrument. Audiences attending this performance will hear Blais's own writing presented live on the piano at Kings Place, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, with Hall Two as the performance space.

The evening suits listeners who follow contemporary piano writing from Quebec and anyone interested in the work of a composer-pianist whose recordings began with "Il". Blais's output since that debut is the best starting point for those wishing to know the music before the concert.
