Philippe Manoury

I will admit contemporary classical music is not my native language, but Philippe Manoury earns my respect anyway. Rising from Tulle to international standing as a composer, and being named an Officer of Arts and Letters in 2014, marks him as someone France genuinely treasures. He is associated with pioneering work blending live performance and electronics, the sort of unglamorous frontier where reputations are built slowly and honestly. I admire artists who walk paths nobody has mapped, chasing sounds the rest of us have not imagined yet, indifferent to whatever is fashionable this season.
