Jazz Middlebury and Town Hall Theater  Present:

An Evening with Pianist

Mathis Picard

Saturday, October 18 at 5:30pm

Performed in the round in the Anderson Studio

Jazz Middlebury and Town Hall Theater present An Evening with Mathis Picard, of Jazz at Lincoln Center touring band fame.

As the first performance of the 2025-2026 House of Jazz season, expect to hear original compositions from Mathis and interpretations of solo piano classics, ranging from the pen of Duke Ellington to Thelonious Monk & J.S. Bach to Chopin and Ravel. Mathis will also present the world premiere of selections from his new book of preludes and fugues.

Mathis is a pianist, composer, and producer on the international music scene. Based in New York City and from France and Madagascar, Mathis honors his multi-cultural background by merging musical influences and elevating sonic synchronicity. Named a “rising star,” Mathis is an ASCAP Next Generation of Songwriters Recipient, a member of the Montreux Jazz Foundation, and a Juilliard Alumni under the mentorship of Kenny Barron.

THT’s new Jean’s Place bar will be open, and attendees are invited to a post-show meet-and-greet and casual conversation with Mathis.

Make it a full evening of arts at THT!
After Mathis Picard, head downstairs at 7:30pm for Middlebury Community Player's musical "The Spitfire Grill" on our mainstage. Separate ticket required. For more info, click here.
