Brad Mehldau live in Paris

Experience Brad Mehldau live on December 4th

Brad Mehldau will perform at Salle Cortot in Paris, France on December 4, 2026. Mehldau is a contemporary jazz pianist renowned for his deeply introspective and harmonically sophisticated approach. His style blends jazz improvisation with influences from classical music, particularly composers like Bach and Schubert, and incorporates elements of pop and rock songbook interpretations. He’s known for his lyrical playing, often employing counterpoint and exploring extended harmonies within familiar melodies. His solo performances frequently feature both original compositions and reinterpretations of works by artists such as Radiohead, Nick Drake, and The Beatles.

Salle Cortot holds a significant place in Parisian musical history. Opened in 1907, it was originally the salon of Marcel Cortot, a prominent French pianist and pedagogue. Designed specifically for intimate chamber music performances, the hall quickly became a favoured venue for leading musicians of the early 20th century including Debussy, Ravel and Enescu. Its acoustics are highly regarded for their clarity and warmth, making it especially suited to solo piano recitals and smaller ensembles.
