Yann Tiersen Live in Budapest – A Piano and Electronic Journey at Barba Negra
Experience an intimate concert with the legendary French composer
On February 28, 2026, world-renowned composer and multi-instrumentalist Yann Tiersen will return to Budapest for a special solo piano and electronic performance at Barba Negra’s Red Stage. This concert is part of his new tour, supporting the album Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour, and promises a deeply immersive night of sound and emotion.
Yann Tiersen is best known internationally for his stunning film scores, including Amélie and Good Bye Lenin!, yet his artistry extends far beyond cinema. His live performances blend classical minimalism with ambient electronic textures, often creating moments that feel both delicate and powerful. This Budapest show offers a rare chance to experience his music in a stripped-down, personal format.
A tour shaped by sustainability and simplicity
Unlike traditional concert tours, Tiersen’s 2026 European journey embraces a unique, environmentally conscious approach. Traveling alone with his dog in his van, he avoids hotels and tour crews, instead staying in private homes along the way. His mission is to connect more authentically with the people and places he visits, performing in venues that reflect his ethos of simplicity, intimacy, and sustainability.
