Franck Krawczyk
Composer and pianist, Franck Krawczyk teaches chamber music at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse (CNSMD) in Lyon*.
Discovered in 1989 by the Festival d'automne in Paris, he wrote numerous pieces for piano, chamber groups, ensembles, orchestra and chamber choir. He received the Hervé Dugardin Prize and the SACEM Prize for Ruines, for orchestra, in 2000 as well as the Grand Prix Radio-Classique in 2001. In April 2016 in New York, he premiered his second orchestral piece, Après, commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, as a tribute to Henri Dutilleux. His first opera, Fosse, commissioned by the Opéra Comique, premiered in January 2020.
Strong encounters and friendships encourage him to deepen the relationship between music and other arts, notably Christian Boltanski and Jean Kalman, with whom he conceived some fifteen musical installations in France and abroad in contemporary art venues as well as in opera houses.
