Experience Brad Mehldau live on February 6th

Brad Mehldau is scheduled to perform at Salle Foirail in Pau, France on February 6, 2027. Mehldau is a critically acclaimed jazz pianist known for his lyrical improvisation, harmonic sophistication, and incorporation of influences from classical music and pop. His style often involves deconstructing popular songs and reinterpreting them within a jazz framework, alongside original compositions demonstrating complex chord voicings and a distinctive touch. He frequently performs solo piano and with his trio.

Salle Foirail is a significant venue in Pau, originally constructed in 1931 as a covered market – “foirail” being the Gascon word for fair or market. It underwent extensive renovations in the 1990s transforming it into a multi-purpose performance space. The hall is noted for its acoustics and its capacity to host a range of events including concerts, theatre productions, and conferences. Its architecture blends Art Deco features with modern updates, maintaining a sense of its original industrial character while providing a contemporary setting for artistic presentations. The venue is managed by the city of Pau and serves as an important cultural hub for the region.
