Bertrand Chamayou live in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Experience Bertrand Chamayou live on September 2nd

Bertrand Chamayou is a French pianist recognized for his poetic and subtly nuanced interpretations of the Romantic and contemporary repertoire. He frequently performs works by composers such as Schubert, Schumann, and Debussy, alongside modern composers like Ligeti and Murail. His playing is often described as possessing a distinctive clarity and a sensitive approach to texture and colour.

The concert will take place at Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a Basque coastal town in southwestern France. Originally constructed in the 12th century, the church underwent significant rebuilding in the 17th century following damage sustained during periods of conflict with Spain and England. The current structure largely dates from this period, with notable Baroque features. It’s historically linked to Louis XIV, who married Maria Theresa of Spain there in 1660; a commemorative plaque marks the location of the royal box used during the wedding ceremony. The church's acoustics are considered favourable for chamber music and solo instrumental performances due to its size and architectural design. The building is classified as a *monument historique*, offering heritage protection under French law.
