💫 2025 has been an extraordinary year for me; I have rarely worked so hard, experienced so many intense emotions, and embraced so many new adventures in such a short time. The release of a new album (Mozart Paradox), two new symphonic creations (Seven Visions for Piano and Orchestra and Tap Concerto), an original film score, 85 concerts in 13 countries and across 29 different repertoires, including 8 piano concertos (Mozart, Ravel, Gershwin, Bach, de Falla)…
This year, I truly lived in my two parallel worlds: jazz (solo, trio with François Moutin and Raphaël Pannier, duo with my brother David, with Kevin Hays or Dan Tepfer, with the Keystone Big Band, Emiliano Gonzalez-Toro and Alain Pérez…) and classical music (concertos with my two favourite conductors, Alondra de la Parra and Jean-Claude Casadesus, and orchestras in Sweden, Japan, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Portugal and France; duo projects with Vassilena Serafimova, and chamber music with Félicien Brut, Thibaut Garcia, Alexis Cardenas, Tanguy de Williencourt…).
I celebrated my birthday at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées with my first recital in this legendary hall, gave a concert at the Eiffel Tower, embodied George Gershwin on stage in 1920s New York, and performed Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring for two pianos with ten acrobats on the main stage of the Philharmonie de Paris.
I am deeply grateful to the musicians who shared all of this with me, to the teams of the venues, theatres and festivals who invited me, to my own team (manager, agents, label, publisher, piano teacher) whose tireless work supports me every day, and to such open-minded and generous audiences. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
2026… well, it’s going to continue! :-)
Warmest holiday wishes to everyone, and see you very soon on the roads of music!
