Jean-Yves Thibaudet has performed around the world for more than 30 years and recorded more than 50 albums, with a depth and natural charisma that have made him one of today’s most sought-after soloists.

A two time GRAMMY^® Award nominee, Thibaudet has been the recipient of many awards and accolades worldwide. In 2016 on the 150th anniversary of Erik Satie’s birth, Decca released a box set of Satie’s complete solo piano music performed by Thibaudet, the foremost interpreter and champion of the composer’s work. In 2010 he released Gershwin, featuring big jazz band orchestrations of Rhapsody in Blue, Variations on ‘I Got Rhythm’, and the Piano Concerto in F recorded live with the Baltimore Symphony and music director Marin Alsop.

Thibaudet has also had an impact on the world of fashion, philanthropy, and film. His concert wardrobe is by celebrated London designer Vivienne Westwood, and he was the soloist on the award-winning and critically acclaimed films Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. In 2010 the Hollywood Bowl honored Thibaudet for his musical achievements by inducting him into its Hall of Fame. Previously a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, Thibaudet was awarded the title Officier by the French Ministry of Culture in 2012.
