Experience Sylvie Courvoisier live on October 23rd

Sylvie Courvoisier is a French-Swiss pianist and composer known for her improvisational approach to jazz and contemporary classical music. Her work frequently blends composed structures with spontaneous invention, often incorporating elements of free improvisation, prepared piano techniques, and a distinctly lyrical sensibility. Courvoisier’s compositions explore harmonic complexity and textural nuance, drawing influence from both European modernism and American jazz traditions. She has released numerous albums as a leader and collaborator, garnering critical acclaim for her innovative performances and recordings.

It hosts a diverse program of concerts encompassing jazz, improvised music, new classical compositions, and interdisciplinary performances.
