Pascal Wintz Biography

Pascal Wintz was born in 1966 in Annecy in Haute-Savoie - France.

He began playing the piano at a very young age and received most of his training at the Conservatoire Populaire de Genève where he obtained diplomas in jazz piano and classical piano and the Gabriele de Agostini Foundation Prize. He continued his academic training at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris rewarded by a prize for musical analysis.

Back in the Alps, Pascal Wintz gave his first recitals with classical music programs. He gradually embellished his recitals with jazz improvisations and over the years gave recitals entirely devoted to jazz.

Pascal Wintz distinguished himself with his numerous "Piano Jazz 1930" concerts with arrangements of Gershwin standards and Broadway composers.

He later expanded his repertoire with new programs "Classical In Jazz" in which he took up classical themes interpreted in jazz.

Finally for a few years now, he has been accompanying silent films by Chaplin and also by Meliès, where he uses his improvisational skills.

Pascal Wintz performs in concert as a solo piano player and with his trio with double bass and drums. His 15 albums recorded in concert and his videos, which have totaled more than 9 million views, are evidence of his talent.

He also accompanies singers and strings for musical events, ceremonies and concerts.
