Yann Tiersen live in Lyme Regis

Experience Yann Tiersen live on September 17th

Yann Tiersen will perform at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis, Dorset, on September 17, 2026. Tiersen is a French composer and musician recognised for his work spanning contemporary classical, soundtrack, and folk music. His compositions frequently feature waltz tempos, accordion, piano and string arrangements, often evoking a melancholic or nostalgic atmosphere. He gained international prominence following the success of the film *Amélie* (2001), for which he composed the celebrated soundtrack. Beyond film work, Tiersen releases solo albums and collaborates with various artists.

The Marine Theatre itself holds a significant place in Lyme Regis’ cultural history. Originally constructed in 1883 as a winter garden and entertainment venue, it underwent periods of closure and redevelopment throughout the 20th century. It was substantially rebuilt in the 1990s following damage from coastal erosion and reopened as a performing arts centre. The theatre is noted for its location directly overlooking Lyme Bay, offering unique views to attendees. It functions as a multi-purpose venue hosting theatre productions, live music performances, film screenings and community events; maintaining its role as a vital part of the local arts scene.
