Pianist Pierre-Nicolas Colombat’s performance schedule has taken him to France, Italy, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Being based in Boston since 2015, local audiences have heard him in Jordan Hall, the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum, the Boston Athenaeum, the Lilypad, and the Orpheum Theatre. His playing has been heard on WQED Pittsburgh as well as WBJC Baltimore. In September 2020, Colombat released his first commercial recording, Arpeggione Sonata, with violist Daniel Orsen.

While his repertoire is largely centered on Western Art Music, Colombat performs a variety of styles from Ragtime, cabaret, and silent film music, to the avant-garde repertoire of today. At the invitation of pianist and conductor Stephen Drury, Colombat has performed in the Boston Symphony’s Prelude Series concerts which features contemporary composers. His work with Drury lead Colombat to work directly with composers such as Georg Friedrich Haas, Timo Andres, and Julian Anderson. Colombat’s performance of Mooring can be found on Andres's website. He is an artist with the Boston Art Song Society and has worked as staff pianist at Boston University and Boston Conservatory.

Outside of performing, Colombat’s main interests lie in finding ways to develop local musical communities. These efforts include producing a concert review podcast, Eulogy Podcast, writing reviews and essays, teach piano lessons, work as a vocal coach, and founding the Boston Community Studio Class. He holds degrees from New England Conservatory (MM) and Boston University (DMA). His dissertation titled “Music and Modern Power: A Performer’s Tracing of Virtuosity and Systems of Musical Value” was published in 2021. He currently studies art-song accompaniment with Jan Schultsz in Basel, Switzerland.
