“An interplay of intimacy and virtuosity that elevates both the audience and the artist into a shared moment of transcendence” — Classicagenda Following the remarkable success of his tour across France, the french pianist and composer Thomas Valverde now unveils his new album “Polka” throughout Europe, with performances in Oslo, Stockholm, London, Bruxelles, Barcelona, Milano. Both virtuosic and poetic, Polka is a tribute to the purity of solo piano. With its deliberately minimalist and refined production, the album allows every emotion to emerge directly from the keyboard — in the notes as much as in the silences between them. Trained at the prestigious Paris National Conservatory of Music, and driven by an unwavering desire to carve his own artistic path, Thomas Valverde reveals himself with a rare sincerity and a singular voice within today’s piano scene.
