The Frenchman, who has been described as the most successful pop-classical pianist of all time, will perform at The Star Theatre in one-north.

The audience can expect to hear old-time favourites such as Ballade pour Adeline, Mariage D'amour and Souvenirs D'enfance.

Born Philippe Pages, Clayderman is known for his interpretations of classics, pop standards and his own trademark originals.
