Thibaudet Plays Gershwin Tickets

Jean-Yves Thibaudet, born September 7, 1961 in Lyon, France, is one of today’s most celebrated concert pianists. A product of the Conservatoire de Paris, he rose to international prominence after signing with Decca in the early 1990s. With a discography spanning more than 70 albums, Thibaudet has earned two Grammy nominations and multiple international honors, including Echo, Diapason d’Or, Edison Prize, and Gramophone awards. His artistry blends technical brilliance with an expressive lyricism that has captivated audiences worldwide.

This page highlights Thibaudet’s Gershwin-focused program—Thibaudet Plays Gershwin—which showcases the composer’s quintessential American repertoire through Thibaudet’s elegant, nuanced interpretation. Expect a deft blend of Gershwin medleys, virtuosic flourishes, and thoughtful conversations between the composer’s melodic lines and Thibaudet’s signature touch.

Beyond Gershwin, Thibaudet remains an active collaborator with top orchestras, conductors, and ensembles. He is a frequent guest at major venues and festivals, and his ongoing relationship with Decca Classics continues to bring fresh, high-profile releases and collaborations to the concert stage. A Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame inductee (2010) and a curator of residency programs, Thibaudet’s career reflects a lifelong commitment to artistry, education, and outreach.
