Guillaume Connesson

Guillaume Connesson is a French composer whose music combines the rhythmic energy and harmonic language of contemporary music with influences from composers ranging from Couperin to Debussy to film scores and even the funk style of James Brown. His works are characterized by vivid orchestral colours, driving rhythms and a strong sense of musical momentum, creating highly energetic and cinematic sound worlds. He has composed extensively for orchestra, chamber ensembles and vocal music.
