In 2019 in Zurich, pianist Laurent de Wilde paid an impacting and innovative hommage to the genius of Thelonious Monk. Originally from Washington but living in France since the 1960’s, de Wilde is as much philosopher as he is musician. He studied at the École normale supérieure from age 21 and displayed a real admiration of Monk by publishing a biography of the illustrious virtuoso in 1996. During this large scale yet minimalist performance, de Wilde pays further tribute to arguably the greatest pianist of the last century.
