After visiting the Gent School of Arts, PXL Music and Arts2 <\/sup>, PlayRight+ <\/a>continues its tour and made a stop at the Jazz station this Tuesday 17th<\/sup> of October to award Julien Gillain, a young graduate of the Jazz section of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Julien received a master’s degree in Jazz Piano (taught by Eric Legnini) and another masters in Jazz Violin (under Françoise Derissen) last September, and was invited to perform at the Jazz station to celebrate the occasion. This marks the beginning of a career we wish to be both long and creative for him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Julien made it through a double curriculum, which means he masters both instruments.  He was selected by his teachers at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels jazz section after graduation.<\/p>\n

“Julien Gillain was chosen for his attitude – always curious and open towards music, his talent, his seriousness, his perseverance and the way he exhorts himself in his work, during all his courses. He applies great sincerity and generosity towards his colleagues during the projects in which he participates, as well as his own projects.<\/em><\/p>\n

The teachers at the jazz section of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels would like to highlight all these qualities that combine in a double instrumentalist, both pianist and violinist. This is why he was selected to receive Playright+ Prize.  To honor the efforts and the talent of a young emerging musician who just completed a master’s degree at the Conservatory, was self-evident<\/em>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Collaborating on projects throughout Europe, Julien Gillain is also a member of a Hardbop quintet called Dat Mess<\/a>‘, which you can discover here:<\/span><\/p>\n
