VIDEO. Pianist Sofiane Pamart looks back on his highlights on stage

It is “9 – 10 years” that Sofiane Pamart takes on a stage for the first time. At the time he spent his “first piano auditions” before a jury. He sees himself leaving the stage again “proud” and join his mother. Today, at 33, he has multi-platinum records and performs at the Olympia. For Brut, he looks back on the best moments he experienced on stage… and the worst. He has experienced several magical moments, suspended and timeless. Among them, the time he played live under the Northern Lights. “It was incredible because it was a setting where I had the impression that there was someone painting in the sky” remembers Sofiane Pamart. An experience he would like to try again: “On the Moon, levitating, in space… I don’t know yet what I’m going to do, but I want to do really crazy things”. Again, “overcome by emotion”he almost lost consciousness, before his team brought him back to reality in the ear.

“It was his last concert. She’s been gone since…”

Another particularly moving moment: the day he gave a private concert near Montreal to a person suffering from cancer who was going to attend his show. “His family contacted me. She was no longer able to come see my concert. So we organized a private concert at her house because she had a piano, and she was just five minutes from the venue. And so I played for her. She’s been gone since… It’s sad” remembers the pianist, still moved. There are also failures on stage. Like that time he encountered a light bug. “Feust, my lighting designer, had the idea of ​​adding two eyes. And the two eyes inside are lasers that scan the room. But at the first concert, there was one eye that didn’t work. Since then, we have even invented a little check to ward off bad luck between us. We check ourselves twice and put a hand on one of our eyes to wink at the fact that he made me go blind in my first concert” remembers, amused, Sofiane Pamart.
