Richard Clayderman, born Philippe Pagès, has had a career spanning 40 years.

After studying at the Conservatoire de Paris, his career kicked off in 1976, when record producers Olivier Toussaint and Paul de Senneville selected him to record a gentle piano ballad for de Senneville’s baby daughter.

Ballade Pour Adeline (Ballad for Adeline) went on to sell 22 million copies in 38 countries, earning Clayderman international acclaim.

He has since recorded over 1,300 melodies, and has established a signature style which combines his trademark originals with classics and pop standards. His record sales are over 150 million, with 267 gold and 70 platinum albums.

This is not the first time that Clayderman has visited Egypt. His most recent concert in Cairo was in February 2020 when he performed at the Al-Manara Inernational Convention Centre's stage.
