About Tour

Guest composer of the Symphonies d’automne, Régis Campo will present his work and the melodies created for the opera competition.

Régis Campo, born in 1968, is one of the most widely-played French composers of his generation. Trained in Marseille and then at the CNSMD in Paris with Gérard Grisey, he received his Premier Prix in composition in 1995 and stayed at the Villa Médicis from 1999 to 2001. His style, described as playful and colorful, emphasizes melody, humor and joy. His work, comprising more than 300 pieces (published by Henry Lemoine), has been performed in over 30 countries by leading performers and ensembles (Kent Nagano, Felicity Lott, Ensemble intercontemporain, Orchestre symphonique de Montréal…). He has written several operas (Les Quatre Jumelles, Quai ouest) and numerous orchestral works (Lumen, Heartbeats, Street-Art, Choc Classica 2019). In 2025, he won the Victoire de la Musique Classique for Composer of the Year. His musical universe, between exacting standards and wonder, is celebrated in a biography by Thierry Vagne (Régis Campo, musique de l’émerveillement, Aedam Musicae, 2018).
