Jean-Michel Blais

"His music breathes, invites one to take a moment, and acknowledges that there is still much beauty in the world", wrote TIME about Canadian pianist and composer Jean-Michel Blais. In 2022, he performed in our Recital Hall for a magnificent concert dedicated to his album aubades. Now he’s back, performing solo at the grand piano, with pieces from his new album mirador, set for release in September 2026. A rich musical journey that takes you through choral sounds, strings, and music from the Andes. From caves in Spain to forests in Estonia. And finally, back to his homeland in Québec.
