Musician

Tunisian born, Brussels based pianist Wajdi Riahi is one of the new exciting names within the Belgian jazz scene. Apart from being active as a side man in several projects (such as Stéphane Gallands' Rhythm Hunters, Aleph Quintet, Fabrice Allemand..) the prodigious pianist is making great name with his own trio.

Wajdi has been working on a solo piano repertoire, to be brought live for the first time in BOZAR on February 23rd 2025. For this solo recital, Wajdi samples the multiple influences that underpin his highly personal style, imbued with gentleness and emotion. His own compositions will be altered with some standards from jazz and classical pieces.
