Adrien Brandeis | HANDMADE

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

In the program “HANDMADE”, the pianist will present his fifth album, recorded live at the prestigious Bechstein Hall concert hall in Manchester. It is an energetic and emotional musical story that reflects the artist’s colorful international journey – from the legendary La Fenice opera house in Venice and the magnificent Teatro Juárez in Mexico to the Blue Note jazz clubs in Shanghai and Beijing.

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

Adrien Brandeis, dubbed the “most Latin pianist in France,” is the winner of the prestigious LetterOne Rising Stars Jazz Award and was named the best young European jazz artist in 2018. He also won first place at Jazz à Juan, the Audience Award at Jazz à Porquerolles, and the UNAC New Talent Jazz 2022 award from the French National Union of Authors and Composers.

“HANDMADE” is a virtuoso and lively piano recital in which technical mastery becomes sincere emotion. The concert will appeal to both jazz and classical music listeners and to anyone looking for music that surprises, engages, and remains in the memory for a long time.

The choir project is partly funded by the Vilnius City Municipality.
