Pierre Bleuse
Conductor
Biography
Founder of the Musika Orchestra Academy in 2008, French conductor Pierre Bleuse is also artistic director of the Philharmonie der Animato Stiftung, a youth orchestra with which he has performed in major European cities. He studied conducting with Jorma Panula in Finland and Laurent Gay at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève. As a violinist, he was the prize-winner of the Conservatoire National de Paris. He enjoys continued artistic relationships with the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse and the Orchestre National Bordeaux-Aquitaine. With more and more appearances in concert halls outside of France, Pierre Bleuse is starting to lead a brilliant international career. In July 2016, he made his successful United States debut with the Utah Symphony Orchestra, having caught the attention of its Music Director, Thierry Fischer. He will return to the Opéra de Lyon in 2017 and 2019, after first assisting Kazushi Ono in two productions in 2013, and subsequently returning in 2015. Composer Michael Jarrell has also recently entrusted him with his opera Cassandre with the actress Fanny Ardant and the Lemanic Ensemble at the Grand Théâtre de Provence in Aix-en-Provence.

NOTE ON THE PROGRAMME:
By placing contemporary creation at the heart of its artistic projects, the Geneva Competition wants to act as both a pioneer and a militant. In the same way as we try to refresh musical interpretation by promoting young talent from all over the world, it is vital that the music itself regenerates and stays up-to-date by giving creativity a deserving place. Since 2013, our Composition Prize has shown that it is possible to consider composition as a discipline in its own right, and to view its winners as virtuosos and its finals as events for the general public. We continue to believe that this is worthwhile and are now broadening the competition to include a work for solo clarinet and orchestra.
