Yann Tiersen – Kerber Tour

A composer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who excels at melancholic, thought-provoking music, Yann Tiersen first became popular outside of France for his award-winning score to Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amélie. However, like most seemingly overnight successes, he had been working for years before the film's success brought him international acclaim. His deceptively simple blend of the classical training of his childhood, traditional French and Breton music, and pop and rock has been likened to Chopin, Erik Satie, Philip Glass, and Michael Nyman.
