Well known to the general public, André Manoukian is above all a composer and jazz pianist open to world influences. He returns to the Pin Galant on October 13, 2026 at 6:30 PM with “La Sultane,” his fifth album inspired by Armenian music. A concert that blends virtuosity, delight and delicacy.

His piano becomes his intimate memory, his cultural heritage, a language of tenderness. Between East and West, his compositions, supported by the phrasing of Mosin Kawa’s Indian tablas, Guillaume Latil’s cello and Gilles Coquard’s double bass, outline a borderless horizon—Levantine arabesques like so many initiatory paths, labyrinths that seem to embrace the folds and creases of our memories.

“My Sultane—that’s what my mother used to call my little sister before showering her with kisses. A Turkish word to express the overflowing love of Armenian mothers for their daughters. The boys were called: my Pacha.” André Manoukian
