Experience Sébastien Walnier live on July 5th

Sébastien Walnier will perform at Église Saint-Matthieu in Colmar, France on July 5th, 2026. Walnier is a French composer and pianist whose work often blends elements of neoclassical music with ambient and minimalist textures. His compositions frequently feature piano as a central instrument, exploring melodic development and harmonic richness within spacious arrangements. He’s known for creating evocative soundscapes that draw on influences from film scores and contemporary classical traditions.

Église Saint-Matthieu is a significant religious building in Colmar, originally constructed between 1868 and 1871 in a neo-Gothic style. Designed by architect Jean-Baptiste Schinner, it replaced an earlier medieval church on the same site. The church is notable for its stained glass windows, depicting scenes from the life of Saint Matthew and other biblical narratives, created by local artisans. Its architecture reflects the revival of Gothic aesthetics prevalent during the 19th century, with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and ornate detailing. The church serves as an active place of worship within the Catholic parish of Colmar and occasionally hosts cultural events due to its acoustic properties and architectural beauty.
