Régis Campo (1968- )
Régis Campo was born in Marseilles and took composition
lessons with Georges Boeuf and Jacques Charpentier before enrolling at
the Paris Conservatory, where he continued his studies with Alain
Bancquart and Gérard Grisey, finishing with the first prize in
composition in 1995. In 1992 he also studied composition with Edison
Denisov who deemed him "one of the most gifted of his generation". His
writing style, which is deliberately playful and energetic, diverges
from the mainstream of the late-20th century, putting the accent on
melodic invention and lively tempi. He counts Stravinsky, Mozart and
Rameau as his chief influences, alongside Messiaen, Lutoslawski and
Mahler. From 1999 to 2001, he was a resident at the Villa Médicis, home
of the Académie de France in Rome. Campo teaches composition
at the National Conservatory of the Marseilles Region. He is composer
in residence for the 2004-05 season with the Pau Orchestra,
the Parvis de Tarbes and its conservatory. Among his numerous awards
are the Gaudeamus Prize (1996), the Young Composers Special Prize
(1996), the Dutilleux Competition (1996), as well as the Hervé Dugardin
and Pierre Cardin prizes (1999).COMPOSITIONS Campo Links ~ ~ ~ Works by Genre
