Christophe Roy

Cello recital - J.S.Bach, M.Kagel, L.Berio, I.Xenakis, S.Ciarrino

Herakleidon Museum

Christophe Roy studied the cello with Paul Boufil, Pierre Penassou and Maurice Gendron, as well as with the composer Dan Lustgarten. In 1994 he won the special cello prize at the International Gaudeamus Competition in Rotterdam (presided over by Siegfried Palm). As a performer of the solo repertory and chamber music he he has frequently collaborated with the Ensemble intercontemporain,

The Ensemble Modern Frankfort and The Newt Hinton Ensemble. He taught the cello at the national music school of Évry, where in 2002 he founded the Centre for the practice of the contemporary cello. In this context, he made a CD in 2006 of music for cello ensemble and it was at once hailed by the press (Le Monde, Le Monde de la Musique). Since 1995 has formed a duet with the violonist Noëmi Schindler. His passion for the contemporary repertory led him to prepare various recital programmes, and he became the preferred performer of composers such as Xenakis, Kagel, Globokar. As a soloist he has been invited by festivals both in France (Musicavoix, Musiques en scène, Musica Strasbourg, Présences, Musique Action, etc.) and abroad (USA, Canada, the Netherlands, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Hungary, etc.). He has made several records, notably with the Ensemble Aleph (awarded a ‘Choc’ by Le Monde de la Musique). His CD of solo works released in March 2000 by Grave-Disques Concord (works by Xenakis, Ballif, Aperghis, Kagel) was acclaimed by the press (‘10’ de Répertoire, ‘Diapason d’Or’, Le Monde, etc.).
