Corentin Boissier

Born in 1995, Corentin Boissier began composing at the piano when he was six. He was discovered by the composer and organist Thierry Escaich, who wrote: « He already possesses qualities that portend his becoming an accomplished musician: a genuine sense of harmonic color, of rhythmic invention, and an understanding of the process of thematic development. All these qualities point to a free spirit with a true gift for musical composition ».


He studied at the CRR of Paris in the Specialized Classes of Musical Writing and Orchestration, getting both Diplomas of Musical Studies (DEM) “With Highest Distinction”. In 2019 he obtained the Master of Superior Musical Writing at the National Superior Conservatory of Music (CNSM) of Paris, with four Prizes “With Highest Distinction” (Harmony, Counterpoint, Fugue & Forms, Polyphony); in 2021 he got his Master of Superior Orchestration “With Highest Distinction”.

Eager to write a directly accessible classical music, Corentin Boissier composed to date around thirty works in a neo-romantic spirit. His ballade for alto saxophone and piano From Midnight to Dawn was premiered during the 2014 Musical Festival of Bagnac-sur-Célé by the duo Christine Marchais and Marc Sieffert.
