ABOUT THIS CONCERT

Dinuk Wijeratne is an award-winning composer, conductor, and pianist. His boundary-crossing work sees him equally at home in collaborations with symphony orchestras, string quartets, tabla players, and DJs – and has taken him to international venues as poles apart as the Berlin Philharmonie and the North Sea Jazz Festival. The Sri Lankan-born Canadian pianist is joined by jazz drummer and world percussionist Nick Halley and seasoned bassist Tom Easley for this thrilling concert of original compositions.

Dinuk Wijeratne est compositeur, chef d'orchestre et pianiste. Récompensé à de nombreuses reprises pour son travail qui transcende les frontières traditionnelles, il est également à l'aise lors de collaborations avec des orchestres symphoniques, des quatuors à cordes, des tablas ou encore des DJ, ce qui le conduit dans des salles internationales aussi prestigieuses que la Philharmonie de Berlin et le North Sea Jazz Festival. Pianiste canadien né au Sri Lanka, Dinuk sera accompagné du batteur de jazz et percussionniste Nick Halley et du bassiste Tom Easley. Ils nous offriront un concert de compositions originales.
