The Mosaïque Award Ceremony for Exceptional Achievement

At The French Library Get Directions

Barbara Bouquegneau, Executive Director of the French Library, and the Mosaïque Award Committee invite you to a special celebration in honor of world renowned pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet.

The Mosaïque Award for Exceptional Achievement is conferred to an individual who has excelled in the humanities, the sciences, or the public interest, and who reflects the humanitarian spirit of French culture.

For more than three decades, Jean-Yves Thibaudet has performed world-wide, recorded more than 50 albums, and built a reputation as one of today’s finest pianists. Born in Lyon, France, Thibaudet began piano studies at age five and made his first public appearance at age seven. At twelve, he entered the Paris Conservatory. Jean-Yves has won numerous awards and honors, including the title Officier by the French Ministry of Culture in 2012.

This event will be presented in English.

Proceeds from this reception benefit the Mosaïque Cultural Fund of the French Library of Boston.
