Bruno Mantovani

Bruno Mantovani is a distinguished French composer renowned for his avant-garde compositions and orchestration skills, often likened to a 21st-century Maurice Ravel for his unmistakable French flair. Born in 1974, Mantovani's musical journey began at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he garnered first prizes and honed his craft. His works, which include pieces like 'Waves' and 'Le Violon Augmenté', have been commissioned by prestigious organisations, including the French government. Mantovani's compositions, such as 'Beethoveniana' for the Kuss Quartet, showcase his ability to blend historical influences with contemporary innovation. In addition to his composing, Mantovani serves as the director of the Paris Conservatory, a role he has held since 2010. His extensive body of work, ranging from chamber music to concertos, continues to captivate audiences and cement his status as a leading figure in modern classical music.
