“Jean-Michel Bernard is the musical mirror of my personality. To me it is amazing that I found a real ‘soul brother in the sum of his expressions (composing, conducting, performing, etc.) I cannot find words to reflect my admiration for his genius, a real miracle because he is my double. One again, VIVA! Jean-Michel.”
- LALO SCHIFRIN
LALO SCHIFRIN
Argentinian born pianist Lalo Schifrin is a conductor and composer who has written over 100 scores for both television & the cinema including the memorable themes to ‘Mission: Impossible’ (1966), ‘Mannix’ (1967), ‘Starsky and Hutch’ (1975), ‘Cool Hand Luke’ (1967), and ‘Bullitt’ (1968). Schifrin has regularly worked alongside Clint Eastwood (another jazz music aficionado) on numerous contributions including the themes to all the Dirty Harry films. During his illustrious career, Schifrin has received four Grammy Awards, and six Oscar nominations.
Schifrin received his classical music training in both Argentina & France, and is a highly respected jazz pianist. On moving back to Buenos Aires in the mid 1950s, Schifrin formed his own big band, and was noticed by jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie, who asked him to become his pianist and arranger. In addition to his jazz and cinema compositions, he has conducted the London Philarmonic Orchestra, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philarmonic, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and many others.
JEAN-MICHEL BERNARD
Jean-Michel Bernard, whom Ray Charles described as a “genius” and Lalo Schifrin called his “soul brother” works at the crossroads of musical genres. A composer, orchestrator, producer, concert pianist, he is not exactly a classical pianist, nor a jazz pianist (even if he has the improvisational freedom and swing), but is known as an exceptional pianist of music for cinema. Jean-Michel Bernard is the only official Steinway artist in the film music sector, and has worked as a member of Ray Charles’ Quartet, a collaborator of Scorsese and Morricone, and as a composer for Michel Gondry amongst others.
NOAH FRANCIS JOHNSON
Noah Francis Johnson has performed and collaborated with many artists such as; Lenny KravItz, Soul and Jazz poet Gil Scott Heron, Jamiroquai, Puddle of Mudd, Wu-Tang, Royce Da 5’9″ , Slayer, among many others. His openness and ability to blend any genre with his passion and extraordinary vocal gift has endeared him to perform to live audiences on many stages at festivals to world-class venues. His earlier project “Johnson” prompted Q Magazine to quote one of the penned tracks as “Genius” and another to be remixed by Frankie Knuckles, becoming a dance floor classic. Noah’s Rock project earned him an accolade from NME stating that “Noah has the funk of the Red Hot Chillis and the Soul of Marvin Gaye“. Throughout his musical journey Noah has always treated each genre with reverence whilst turning them into his own sound tracks and painting them with his soulful brush.

THE CORONET THEATRE
“For me, the artist is at the heart of the programme, and I work closely with the makers of the pieces I bring to London, sometimes watching and encouraging them for years. In this increasingly fractious world, I feel strongly that one of the greatest uniting forces is the international language of and desire of all of us to engage with art, whether as a maker or spectator.
My goal is to fill the theatre spaces – the Main House, Print Room Studio, and bar – with diverse and wonderful arts from across the world, celebrating all its many forms and the audiences who enjoy them”
