Jean-François Zygel

Virtuosity, sense of color, fantasy, humor, and imagination will be the watchwords of this exceptional concert by France's most famous improvising pianist, in homage to the great Romantic composer.

Drawing inspiration from his rhythmic energy, his pianistic heroism, his powerful and drawn themes, Jean-François Zygel imagines for us a true improvisation recital, as Beethoven himself practiced until the end of his life before his dear Viennese public.

Jean-François Zygel occupies a quite singular place in French musical creation. Renewing the art of piano through improvisation and his conception of the concert as a true spectacle, he makes each of his performances a unique, unexpected event.

"A surprising and original concert by a virtuoso loved by all, improviser of genius, whose humor and imagination won over the public" Télérama
