Pascal Le Boeuf
GRAMMY-nominated composer, jazz pianist, and electronic artist
About Me
Described as sleek, new and hyper-fluent by the New York Times, Pascal Le Boeuf is a GRAMMY-
nominated composer, jazz pianist, and electronic artist whose works range from modern improvised music
to hybridizing notation-based chamber music with production-based technology.
Recent compositions include “Triple Concerto” for violin, percussion duo and orchestra featuring Barbora
Kolářová and Arx Duo; “Imprints” with Alarm Will Sound; “I Am Not A Number” commissioned by New
World Symphony; and “Out of the Gate” commissioned and premiered by Nu Deco Ensemble.
Recent commercial recordings and videos include collaborations with Tasha Warren & Dave Eggar, Friction
Quartet, Akropolis Reed Quintet, Christian Euman, JACK Quartet, Hub New Music, Shattered Glass, Todd
Reynolds, Sara Caswell, Jessica Meyer, Nick Photinos, Four/Ten Media, Bec Plexus featuring Ian Chang (of
Son Lux), Dayna Stephens, Allan Harris, Linda Oh, Justin Brown, and the Le Boeuf Brothers Quintet (co-led
by Remy Le Boeuf) praised by the New Yorker for clearing their own path, mixing the solid swing of the
jazz tradition with hip-hop, indie rock, and the complex techniques of classical modernism.
As a keyboardist, Pascal has played as support for D’Angelo’s Black Messiah tour and Clean Bandit’s
Rather Be tour with Australian pop artist Meg Mac. He actively performs with Le Boeuf Brothers,
saxophonist Jeff Coffin, jazz vocalist Allan Harris, and his piano trio Pascal's Triangle.
Pascal’s most recent awards include a 2023 Grammy nomination for “Best Instrumental Composition”, a
2023 Guggenheim Fellowship, a 2020 Copland House Residency Award, and various Independent Music
Awards in “Jazz”, “Eclectic”, “Electronica” and “Music Video” categories. Pascal has received commissions
and grants from NEA, New World Symphony, Nu Deco Ensemble, the Lake George Music Festival, Lincoln
Center Stage, Chamber Music America, New Music USA, and ASCAP. He composed music for the 2008
Emmy Award-winning movie King Lines, and won first place in the 2008 International Songwriting
Competition.
Pascal is currently an Assistant Professor of the Practice of Music and Technology at the Vanderbilt
University Blair School of Music, and a Harold W. Dodds Honorific Fellow and Ph.D. candidate in Music
Composition at Princeton University.
