Blais has performed around the world in solo, chamber, and symphonic settings. His international tours span Europe and North America, with performances at London's Southbank Centre, Paris Petit Palais, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Moscow Gnesin Concert Hall, Mexico Parque de Chapultepec, and the Montreux Jazz Festival. From intimate recital halls to the 40,000-strong audience at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, he consistently captivates listeners with his immersive, virtuosic performances.
He has collaborated with Philip Glass' former assistant Alex Weston and completed residencies at Yann Tiersen's studio in France and Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia. His music also extends to film and immersive installations, earning a Cannes Soundtrack Award for Xavier Dolan's Matthias & Maxime, and scoring Moment Factory's immersive installation Wonderfall at Singapore's Changi Airport. His compositions have been featured in Netflix's The Brother Sun, a Tudor advertisement, and a Louis Vuitton holiday campaign.
His latest album, désert, an hour-long improvised collaboration with electronic harpist Lara Somogyi, spent 25 weeks on the Classical USA Billboard charts and earned a JUNO nomination for Instrumental Album of the Year, following aubades, which won a Libera Award (A2IM). He is currently preparing for touring his upcoming choir album, set for autumn 2026.
