Pablo Murgier Pazdera is a pianist and composer, born in Argentina and based in France. Since his early childhood, the piano has been part of his life, as a way of connecting to other universes and questioning his way of being in the world. He has traced a rich and sometimes erratic path: he studied jazz at a very young age without claiming to be a “jazzman,” trained in contemporary composition without defining himself as a “contemporary composer,” and deepened his study of classical music while desacralizing certain codes of that milieu. He moves through these worlds with the freedom and at times the difficulty of someone who chooses to stand at the margins, searching for a voice of his own. The questions of why and how music is made, and of who it addresses, are central to his work. His music seeks to integrate art into different imaginaries, territories and communities, in pursuit of a musical language above all else: honest, integral, and rooted in the voice of a present moment and a territory.

With his quartet, trio or as a soloist, he has performed in numerous concerts around the world, in prestigious venues such as the CCK in Buenos Aires, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Philharmonie in Munich, the Philharmonie in Gdansk, the Nikkei Hall in Tokyo, Salle Gaveau, Halle aux Grains in Toulouse, and Radio France, as well as renowned jazz venues such as Fasching in Stockholm, Cosmopolite in Oslo, Café de la Danse in Paris, and the Bebop Club in Buenos Aires. In 2023, he performed with the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse and played Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 with the Orchestre Symphonique d’Avallon. In 2024, he premiered his first symphony, Solastalgie. He also collaborates with writer and stage director Alice Zeniter in musical readings.
With his group, he received the “Best Orchestra” award (Tango Sin Fin Awards) and was nominated for the Gardel Awards and the Graffiti Awards. His discography, centered on his own compositions, explores contemporary jazz, classical music and improvised music. His latest albums, Gare du Sud (with his quartet, 2022) and Les brouillards(improvised music, 2023), are a testament to this. His solo piano album, Sirocco, will be released in January 2026.

He holds a degree in musical composition from the National University of Quilmes and pursued a master’s degree in Latin American classical music at the National University of Cuyo. A former researcher at UNQ and member of the CIMAP program led by Hilda Herrera, he has taught at several conservatories and universities in Argentina and participated in educational and social projects such as the youth orchestra program. He currently gives masterclasses and is involved in the social and artistic project “Radio Mobile Paris.” He also collaborates as a soloist with numerous classical and jazz ensembles and composes for cinema (France 2, Netflix, Arte).
