We welcome award-winning pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, an artist celebrated worldwide for performances that combine a refinement, imagination and a remarkable clarity that have made him one of the most admired pianists of his generation.
A performer of rare versatility and charisma, Jean-Efflam brings a unique blend of brilliance and sensitivity to his concerts. He enjoys a prolific recording and international concert career, with performances described as possessing ‘exquisite sensibilité, delivered with the most subtly varied, beautiful sound’ (Seen and Heard Magazine).
Jean-Efflam’s programme focuses on two Beethoven sonatas and Ravel’s Valses Nobles et Sentimentales and La Valse, while including retrospective homages by both composers to Haydn. Jean-Efflam is the International Visiting Artist in Keyboard Studies at the Royal Northern College of Music.
