Pierre Lapointe

Pierre Lapointe, a Canadian singer-songwriter, returns to the stage with a format that brings his songs back to the forefront. Accompanied by the piano duo Fortin-Poirier, he revisits his repertoire in a three-way dialogue, where two keyboards sculpt the harmonies, streamline the arrangements and highlight the clarity of the lyrics. The program moves through well-known titles and more recent pieces, rewritten for the stage, with nuances that shift from a smile to melancholy, and a diction that keeps the audience close to the words.

At La Belle Électrique in Grenoble on 11 May 2026, this approach emphasizes listening and detail: piano lines that answer one another, discreet countermelodies, breaths, renewed impulses, and a voice that asserts itself without effort. Fortin-Poirier weaves a flexible yet precise framework, Lapointe leads the narrative and plays with contrasts, between intimate confidences and brighter bursts. A seated concert format, designed to savor the language and musicality, to rediscover familiar songs in a different light, and to be carried along by the interplay of the pianos.
