Bruno Fontaine is a concert pianist, conductor, arranger and composer, a versatile artist who epitomises the wide outlook of twenty-first-century artists. Born in \u00c9pinal, Bruno Fontaine took up the piano at the age of four and at the unusually early age of eleven was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire (CNSM), where his teachers included Jean Hubeau and Pierre Sancan. He left the CNSM at fifteen with five premiers prix. His favourite jazz partners are Michel Portal, Richard Galliano, Mino Cinelu and Louis Sclavis. For many years he has worked as musical director on the shows of Ute Lemper, Lambert Wilson and Julia Migenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time he continues to appear as a classical soloist and conductor. He plays regularly with the Concerts Lamoureux, the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, the Orchestre de Cannes, the Orchestre de la Radio Suisse Romande, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, under the baton of Yutaka Sado, Philippe Bender, Edmon Colomer, David Wroe and others, and he conducted the London Symphony Orchestra for a recording with the guitarist John Williams (Sony Classical). As a chamber musician he plays with the Ysa\u00ffe Quartet, Michel Portal, the cellists Sonia Wieder-Atherton and Oph\u00e9lie Gaillard (with the latter he recorded Faur\u00e9\u2019s complete works for cello and piano for Ambroisie), the violinist Guillaume Sutre and the viola player Miguel Da Silva (with whom he recorded works by Max Bruch for TransArt Live). Also for TransArt Live, he has recorded a Mozart recital that received the maximum ratings from the cultural magazine T\u00e9l\u00e9rama and was highly praised by the French press, a Bach r\u00e9cital, and recently Gershwin\u2019s Concerto in F and Rhapsody in Blue with the Lille National Orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1997 Bruno Fontaine was invited by film director Alain Resnais to put together the music for the film \u201cOn conna\u00eet la chanson\u201d, which was nominated the following year for both the French Music Awards (\u2018Victoires\u2019) and the French Film Awards (\u2018C\u00e9sars\u2019). Subsequently he provided new arrangements and original music for another Resnais film, Pas sur la bouche (2003). He also composed the music for \u201cTangos vol\u00e9s\u201d (Eduardo de Gregorio), \u201cLa vie ne me fait pas peur\u201d (No\u00e9mie Lvovsky), \u201c\u00c7a ira mieux demain\u201d, \u201cC\u2019est le bouquet\u201d and \u201cCause toujours\u201d (all three Jeanne Labrune), and in 2009 and 2010, \u201cSoeur Sourire\u201d (Stijn Coninx) and \u201cCavaliers seuls\u201d (Delphine Gleize and Jean Rochefort).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruno Fontaine was awarded the \u201cSacem Grand Prize for Film Score writing\u201d, rewarding his career as a composer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
