Lumière Jazz Nights: Pablo Held
Pianist Pablo Held, known from the Pablo Held Trio and his collaborations with jazz greats, rarely performs solo. This is a unique opportunity to experience him alone at the piano, blending jazz and classical music.
Pablo Held, internationally renowned for his improvisations with the Pablo Held Trio and his collaborations with jazz legends such as John Scofield and Chris Potter, seldom takes the stage alone.
From time to time, he retreats to the piano – an instrument that sounds both neutral and all-encompassing. From the very first note, the first vibration in the air, an irresistible sense of magic can arise from the silence.
As a storyteller, Held paints musical dreamscapes: he performs his own compositions, reinterprets favourite pieces from diverse genres, and unites the expressiveness of jazz with the sonic aesthetics of European classical music and beyond. His playing breathes beauty and truth. Held’s secret: he forgets that he is playing, while always knowing exactly what he is doing.
