Montréal-based pianist and composer Jean-Michel Blais has earned international acclaim for his distinctive blend of contemporary classical, experimental and orchestral music. Signed to Arts & Crafts and Mercury KX (Decca), he has amassed over 400 million streams, received two JUNO Award nominations and been shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize.

His fourth album, mirador, moves beyond minimalism into a vibrant, expansive world of choirs, strings and Andean influences. Inspired by childhood imagination, travel and musical traditions spanning Québec to South America and Estonia, mirador is Blais’ most ambitious and adventurous work to date.
