BEYRIES released her debut record Landing on February 24, 2017 via Bonsound. In its first week, Landing quickly shot to #1 on the overall album sales charts in her home province of Quebec and #7 in overall album sales in Canada. The 37 year old singer and pianist put life on pause after two diagnoses with breast cancer turned her life upside down. Once in remission, music was the only thing that made sense, which eventually led to Landing.
Today, she announced a special invitation to join London label Erased Tapes (home to Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnaulds) to celebrate Piano Day in London, England on March 29, 2017 in the revered St. Pancras Church. She will play alongside Arthur Jeffries (Penguin Café), Ayo Vincent (World Heart Beat Music Academy), Craig Armstrong, Douglas Dare, Jean-Michel Blais, Lucinda Chua and Neil Cowley.
This Sunday, March 12, 2017 she plays a session for respected journalist George Stroumboulopoulos' national Canadian CBC Radio 2 open format music program The Strombo Show and has an emotional conversation about her journey to music. Tune in at 8 p.m. in all local markets or online.
About Piano Day:
Piano Day, an annual worldwide event founded by a group of like minded people, was a roaring success in 2016: from London to Tokyo via Moscow and Melbourne, pianists gave a series of stunning concerts across a number of styles and genres, all in celebration of those who express themselves best through 88 keys. This year's Erased Tapes celebration of Piano Day will be in aid of The Worldwide Tribe organization whose mission is to highlight the humanity behind world issues and to inspire global community in order to leave a legacy of positive and social change.
