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 Juan March Foundation in Madrid, the La Roque d’Anthéron Festival, and La Folle Journée in Nantes by musicians such as Nathanaël Gouin, Momo Kodama, Claire-Marie Le Guay, Gaspard Dehaene, Clément Lefebvre, and others.
Also a producer at France Musique, he has been presenting the program En Pistes! in tandem with Emilie Munera since 2016.
A major player in French creative life, 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 Scala Music label, which already has around twenty recordings to its name.
He is music advisor to the Banque Populaire Foundation and artistic director of the Les Musicales de Bagatelle 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.”
