Yann Tiersen is, by far, one of the best known French artists of his generation and the most world- renowned for his writing skills. He is back in Dublin to perform live @ The Village this October 23rd. Tickets are €27 on sale now through Ticketmaster and other usual outlets nationwide.
While his reputation as a musician was first established thanks to his early studio albums, “La valse des monstres” (Monsters’ waltz), “Rue des cascades” (Cascade street) and “Le Phare” (The lighthouse), that served as an introduction for the mainstream audience to his music writing wisdom, it was his work on the score for the movie “Amélie Poulain ”(”Amelie”) that earned him widespread recognition, where, thanks to great neoclassical vision, he would play around with pop and folk sounds, stripped from common cliches.
But Yann Tiersen made his biggest impression on spectators first and foremost through his live performances, playing alone or with his band, by delivering an emotionally charged and freely inspired conception of his music to the audience.
