Jean-Michel Blais live in Victoriaville

Experience Jean-Michel Blais live on January 31st

Jean-Michel Blais is a Canadian composer and pianist known for his contemporary classical music, often described as minimalist and ambient. His compositions frequently feature prepared piano – modifying the instrument’s sound with objects placed on or between the strings – alongside electronic textures and processing. Blais’s work explores themes of memory, perception, and the emotional resonance of sound, drawing influences from artists like Erik Satie and Brian Eno. He gained wider recognition following his 2016 album *Dans ma main* and has since released critically acclaimed albums including *Lune rapide* (2018) and *Codes Fractal* (2022).

Le Carré 150 is a performance space located within the Centre culturel Godin in Victoriaville, Quebec. Originally constructed in 1879 as a general store, the building underwent significant renovations in the 1990s to transform it into a dedicated venue for musical performances and other artistic events. It is particularly noted for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics, making it a favoured location for showcasing both established and emerging artists.
