Philippe Thuriot

Philippe Thuriot (b. 1967) is a Belgian accordionist and composer known for bridging classical, jazz, and contemporary music. Trained in Antwerp and Copenhagen under Mogens Ellegaard, he has expanded the accordion’s artistic scope through original compositions, improvisations, and solo concertos written for him. His work is widely recognized across international stages, drawing collaborations with figures such as Alain Platel, Uri Caine, and Maria Schneider. While celebrated for his acclaimed recordings of J.S. Bach and Ravel, his inventive contemporary creations remain central to his musical identity.
