About Nicolas Bacri
Nicolas Bacri (born 23 November 1961 in Paris) is a French composer. Beginning his career in the 1980s as a serialist, his music now incorporates a range of tonal and atonal elements; like Dutilleux, he assiduously avoids allegiance to any current group of composers. His works include 6 symphonies, 8 string quartets, and 27 concertos. Bacri's musical career began with piano lessons at the age of seven, and continued with the study of harmony, counterpoint, analysis and composition as a teenager with Françoise Gangloff-Levéchin and Christian Manen and, after 1979, Louis Saguer. He then entered the Conservatoire de Paris where he studied with a number of composers including Claude Ballif, Marius Constant, Serge Nigg, and Michel Philippot. After graduating in 1983 with a premier prix in composition, he attended the French Academy in Rome. It was during Bacri's two-year residency in Rome (1983-85) that he met the Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi (1905-88). Back in Paris, he worked for four years (1987-91) as the head of chamber music for Radio France.
