Adrien Brandeis

On October 30, the DOWNTOWN PIANO LAB stage will host an exclusive solo concert by French jazz pianist and composer Adrien Brandeis.

In the "HANDMADE" program, the pianist will present his fifth album, recorded live at the prestigious Bechstein Hall in Manchester. It is an energetic and soulful musical narrative that reflects the artist's colorful international journey – from the legendary La Fenice opera house in Venice and the majestic Teatro Juárez in Mexico to the Blue Note jazz clubs in Shanghai and Beijing.

Adrien Brandeis' original compositions blend jazz improvisation, the subtlety of classical music, the temperament of Latin rhythms, and an infectious groove. His bright, inventive, and expressive sound leads listeners through constantly changing musical landscapes – from subtle, intimate moments to temperamental rhythmic breakthroughs.

Often called the "most Latin of French pianists," Adrien Brandeis is a laureate of the prestigious LetterOne Rising Stars Jazz Award, recognized as the best young European jazz artist in 2018. He has also won first place at Jazz à Juan, the audience prize at Jazz à Porquerolles, and the UNAC New Talent Jazz 2022 award from the French National Union of Authors and Composers.

"HANDMADE" is a virtuosic and lively piano recital where technical mastery becomes sincere emotion. The concert will appeal to both jazz and classical music listeners and anyone looking for music that surprises, engages, and stays in the memory for a long time.

The Dainykla project is partially funded by the Vilnius City Municipality.
