Jean-Luc Plouvier

share:

Keyboardist and artistic coordinator

Jean-Luc Plouvier was born in 1963. After he studied piano and chamber music, he concentrated on music of the twentieth (and twenty-first!) century mostly, both on piano and synthesizer, with a few forays into spoken word art. For the past 25 years, he has been working with Ensemble Ictus, of which he is one of the artistic directors. Jean-Luc Plouvier is part of the crew of the Brussels Cinematek, where he accompanies silent movies since 1981. He wrote music for the stage for choreographers or directors such as Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Nicole Mossoux, Iztok Kovač, Myriam Saduis and Johanne Saunier. Since 2024, he has been working on a biography of Fausto Romitelli, and as a lecturer at the INSAS film school in Brussels.
