Jean-Michel Blais live in Utrecht

Experience Jean-Michel Blais live on October 27th

Jean-Michel Blais will perform at TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, Netherlands on October 27, 2026. Blais is a Canadian composer and pianist known for his contemporary classical music, often described as minimalist and emotionally resonant. His work frequently incorporates prepared piano techniques – altering the instrument’s sound by placing objects on or between the strings – alongside electronic processing and ambient textures. He gained significant recognition following the release of his 2016 debut album, *Il*, and has continued to explore innovative approaches to piano composition, blending acoustic and electronic elements.

TivoliVredenburg is a prominent music venue located in the heart of Utrecht. Opened in 2014, it consolidated several existing venues within the city, including Tivoli, Vredenburg Leidsche Rijn, and Club International, into a single complex. The building itself is architecturally notable for its glass dome and tiered structure. It features five halls of varying sizes—the Grote Zaal (Great Hall), Ronda, Pandora, Leeuwarden, and Upstairs—hosting a diverse range of performances encompassing pop, rock, classical music, jazz, dance and theatre.
