Rodolphe Bruneau-Boulmier

Rodolphe Bruneau-Boulmier, composer and producer, studied at the CNSMDP. He has composed numerous works for piano, some of which have been recorded by Geoffroy Couteau and François-Frédéric Guy for the Odradek Records label. In 2022, his piano concerto, Terra Nostra, was premiered at the Berlin Philharmonic by Mari Kodama and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin under the baton of Kent Nagano. The Berliner Morgenpost described it as “a demanding work, a journey to be experienced. An incomparable opulence of sound that makes the audience's ears vibrate.” In 2025, his opera Die Illusionen des William Mallory, commissioned by the Hamburg Staatsoper, will be performed at the Curio Haus in Hamburg under the baton of Kent Nagano. His works have been performed at the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam, the Salle Bougie in Montreal, the Fundación Juan March in Madrid, the Festival de la Roque d'Anthéron, and the Folle Journée de Nantes by musicians such as Nathanaël Gouin, Momo Kodama, Claire-Marie Le Guay, Gaspard Dehaene, and Clément Lefebvre. Also a producer at France Musique, he has been presenting the program En Pistes! in duo with Emilie Munera since 2016. A major player in the French creative scene, Rodolphe Bruneau-Boulmier is the music director of the Théâtres Scala Paris and Scala Provence, where he created the festival Aux Armes Contemporains! in 2017. In 2023, he founded the label Scala Music, which already has around twenty recordings to its name. Music advisor to the Banque Populaire Foundation, he is also artistic director of the Les Musicales de Bagatelles festival. In 2015, he created Muse&Piano, the first music festival at the Louvre-Lens. Gérard Condé wrote of his music in Diapason: “Rodolphe Bruneau-Boulmier's piano playing, though dramatic, remains luminous, as the harmonic arrangements and clarity of ideas exalt the instrument's sonic resources. He follows in the footsteps of Debussy, Dutilleux, Messiaen, and Ohana.”
