Pierre-Yves Plat at Sunset-Sunside

A true performer Pierre-Yves Plat is in his element on stage. As he begins to play a classical masterpiece, he bows his head and puffs out his cheeks in apparent tedium before throwing a cheeky glance towards the audience and breaking into his own ragtime rendition. Never sat still, he dances out of his stool, getting carried away towards the end, bashing out the high notes with his toes. The young virtuoso is even capable of exciting the crowd enough to sing along to his more contemporary rearrangements.

A true performer Pierre-Yves Plat is in his element on stage. As he begins to play a classical masterpiece, he bows his head and puffs out his cheeks in apparent tedium before throwing a cheeky glance towards the audience and breaking into his own ragtime rendition. Never sat still, he dances out of his stool, getting carried away towards the end, bashing out the high notes with his toes. The young virtuoso is even capable of exciting the crowd enough to sing along to his more contemporary rearrangements. Pierre-Yves Plat succeeds in creating a musical cross between humour and fantasy, classical and jazz, a real show!

C’est le pianiste qui monte : son répertoire nous emmène de Chopin à Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder et bien des surprises. Pierre-Yves Plat fascine et enchante son public par sa virtuosité, sa sensibilité, son imagination et son humour. Il propose une traversée musicale entre humour et fantaisie, classique et jazz ; un véritable show ! Tout auréolé de sa participation au film « Un Bonheur n’arrive Jamais Seul » avec Sophie Marceau, dans lequel il a doublé les mains au clavier de Gad Elmaleh pour interpréter ses propres arrangements (piano), Pierre-Yves Plat a su séduire un public qu’il a fait chanter aux Chorégies d’Orange (8000 personnes), partageant ainsi le plateau avec Laurent Gerra, Adamo et l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo entre autres. Sa spécialité : adapter les oeuvres « classiques » en Jazz. Sa dextérité et son swing époustouflants en font certainement l’un des pianistes les plus doués de sa génération.
