Thierry Pécou

Thierry Pécou, born in 1965 in Boulogne-Billancourt, is a contemporary French composer whose music reflects the vastness, beauty, and chaos of the world, often delving into the suffering of humanity and its fragmented memories. His compositions, such as "Mantra 3," "Kedar," and "Anjali," are known for their evocative power and emotional depth. Pécou's work spans various genres, including operas like "Stalker," which premiered in Rouen, and pieces inspired by global cultures, such as his work for timpanist Philippe Serra, which draws from North American Indian tribal dances.
