BIOGRAPHY


Lebanese-Canadian neo-classical and electronic composer and multi-instrumentalist, Ben Nesrallah creates music that explores the richness of the human experience—living freely, laughing uncontrollably, crying deeply, transforming authentically. Using music as a cathartic and a learning experience, Ben openly explores their struggles with mental health, self-esteem, instability and identity; with a goal of creating a space for dialogue through imagination and creativity.

A seasoned performing artist, Ben has given over 700 concerts, in front of more than 300,000 people, across North America, South America, Europe and Asia. They hold a Master of Music in classical piano performance from the University of Montréal.

Nesrallah is currently in pre-production of a new album of original works for solo piano entitled “Metamorphosis” (2025), which has been generously funded by the Canada Council for the Arts.

Nesrallah’s passion for collaboration and improvisation has led them to create as a composer, arranger and live musician with many of Québec’s leading circus companies, including Flip Fabrique (Blizzard), Cirque Éloize (Saloon), Cirque de la Pointe Sèche (À Temps) and The 7 Fingers (Traces).

Ben currently lives in Sainte-Thérèse-de-Gaspé, Québec, in between the sea and the forest, where you can find them at home in the flower garden, or with a violin or a banjo in their hands.

A live soundtrack on a souped-up piano underscores the action, adding pace, momentum and eerie atmosphere by turns.
