Michel Galante is an American composer who has joined IRCAM and whose principal works have received awards from the Hertz and Fulbright foundations, the Mellon Fellowships, the ASCAP and the Composers’ Guild. He founded the Argento Chamber Ensemble in 2000 and has worked as a soloist, guest of honour and assistant with orchestras, choirs and ensembles in North America, Europe and Asia.
Like ten or so other composers, Michel Galante has written for the CENTQUATRE a piece lasting precisely 104 seconds, a commission involving a fascinating combination of figures and constraints. These compositions will be accessible on line to enable you to discover different and distant universes in the field of contemporary music, all too often reserved for initiates only. They will then be performed in the CENTQUATRE after it opens.
