Born in Byblos in 1979, Philippe began studying music in Lebanon. In 2000, he obtained a degree (DEUG) in French Literature from Saint Joseph University (USJ) in Beirut before moving to Paris to complete his piano studies at the Boulogne Billancourt Conservatory. He followed advanced courses for three years at the Regional National Conservatory (CNR) of the city of Rueil-Malmaison under Chantale Riou, obtaining the First Prize in Piano (Gold Medal). In May 2005, thanks to his piano improvisations, he was nominated for the Paris Young Talents 2005 Contest organized by the city of Paris.<\/p>\n
After two years of advanced Piano Jazz courses at the Gabriel Faur\u00e9 Conservatory under Francois POPINEAU, Philippe El Hage began performing in Lebanon, France and Italy in concerts of classical music and improvisation. In September 2007, he released his first album, Byblos, which he recorded in France. He went on tour with his new quartet, playing his own compositions, an original musical genre open to the world, reflecting his diverse influences: jazz, classical harmony and oriental (Near Eastern) music. In 2008, Philippe EL HAGE released his 2nd album, Sunday Afternoon, recorded live in Beirut, and he has recently released a 3rd one, Flying with Elephants, which has topped the charts at Virgin Megastore.<\/p>\n
