  Jean-Yves Thibaudet

  
  One of today's most sought-after soloists, pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet has the rare ability to combine poetic musical sensibilities with dazzling technical prowess. 
  
  After three striking summer appearances at Tanglewood (in which he played the complete piano works of Ravel), Mr. Thibaudet began his 2011-2012 schedule with a European tour, along with Charles Dutoit and The Philadelphia Orchestra; he then performed with the San Diego Symphony at its season-opening gala in October. This fall, he tours Europe with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and the US with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. After New York performances with the New York Philharmonic for its PBS-televised New Year's Eve gala and with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Mr. Thibaudet will conclude his season with Debussy recitals in Germany and France to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth.
  
  Mr. Thibaudet has released more than 40 albums with Decca, which have earned a Deutscher Schallplattenpreis, Diapason d'Or, CHOC du Monde de la Musique, Gramophone Award, Edison Award, and two ECHO Klassik awards.
  
  Mr. Thibaudet was born in Lyon, France, where he began his piano studies at age five and made his first public appearance at age seven. At 12, he entered the Conservatoire de Paris to study with Aldo Ciccolini and Lucette Descaves, a friend and collaborator of Ravel. At age 15, he won the Premier prix du Conservatoire, followed by the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York City three years later. In 2001, the Republic of France awarded Mr. Thibaudet the prestigious Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. The following year, he was awarded the Premio Pegasus from the Spoleto Festival in Italy for his artistic achievements and his longstanding involvement with the festival. In 2007, he was awarded the Victoire d'honneur, a lifetime career achievement award and the highest honor given by France's Victoires de la Musique. On June 18, 2010, the Hollywood Bowl honored Mr. Thibaudet for his musical achievements by inducting him into its Hall of Fame.
