Jean-Philippe Sylvestre

Jean-Philippe Sylvestre is among Quebec's leading young pianists. After winning some of Canada's top prizes, he has concertized widely in Canada and well beyond. Sylvestre was born in 1982 in the Montreal suburb of Sainte-Julie. He took up the piano at age four. Sylvestre attended the École de musique Vincent-d'Indy in Outremont (now part of Montreal) and went on to the University of Montreal, studying with Marc Durand and earning a bachelor's degree. In 2000, he took first prize and the People's Choice Award at the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Competition. That was the first of a long series of prizes for Sylvestre, culminating in the Virginia Parker Prize, the highest honor bestowed by the Canada Council for the Arts, in 2008. Sylvestre went on to the Glenn Gould Professional School of Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music, studying with John Perry and earning an Artist Diploma in 2005. He moved to Europe for several years of study at the Accademia Internazionale "Incontri col Maestro" in Imola, Italy, and then for further studies in Germany with pianist Louis Lortie. He has continued to live in Berlin and acquired further training from Jacques Rouvier, Gerhard Oppitz, and Leon Fleisher, among others. In 2016, Sylvestre held a studio residency in Paris under the auspices of the Quebec Council of the Arts. The following year, he released his debut album on the ATMA Classique label, featuring the Concerto de Québec of André Mathieu and the Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18, of Rachmaninov; he was backed by the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal. Sylvestre has continued to record for ATMA Classique. Sylvestre has appeared at major halls in Quebec and Ontario and also at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, and the Fundação de Educação Artística in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He has performed as a soloist with most of the major orchestras in Quebec and has collaborated with such conductors as Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Richard Bradshaw. Sylvestre's recordings include a Ravel recital on ATMA Classique in 2021. In 2023, he moved to the major Chandos label for a recording of the Piano Concerto by composer Airat Ichmouratov.
