The Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, Starr Theater will play host to French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet on Saturday Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m.
Thibaudet will give an approximately one hour and 35 minute performance where it will be an all Debussy affair, with the Frenchman playing renditions of fellow countryman Claude Debussy. Thibaudet will give a performance of Debussy's "Preludes, Book 2," Suite bergamasque" and "Estampes."
The New York Times once said about Thibaudet. "Every note he fashions as a pearl...the joy, brilliance, and musicality of his performance could not be missed."
Jean-Yves Thibaudet was born in Lyon, France in 1961. He was first introduced to the piano by his mother who was a pianist in her own right.
The Frenchman's learning of the piano first came by the way of the Lyons Conservatory at age five and in 1974 he won a gold medal at the age of 12 while in study there. His studying of the piano took him to the capital where he entered into the Paris Conservatory and studied under Aldo Ciccolini and Lucette Descaves. As a youngster Thibaudet found himself winning the "Prix du Conservatoire" and at 18 the pianist won the "Young Concert Artists Auditions," in New York.
The Frenchman as a professional has worked with the likes of Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as well as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Gewandhausorchestra Leipzig, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Orchestre National de France.
Before coming to New York the pianist will make stops in La Jolla, California at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Nov. 2 followed by a performance on Nov. 4 at the Herbst Theatre at the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center in San Francisco, California and a Nov. 8 show in Houston, Texas at the Jesse H. Jones Hall.
