Conductor and composer Jérémie Rhorer conducts orchestras such as the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the Philharmonie Orchestra, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orcheste de Paris… and conducts opera productions in Vienna, Munich, Brussels, Salzburg, Madrid, Rome, Aix-en-Provence, Glyndebourne… In 2005, he founded Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, an orchestra that brings together musicians from across Europe united by the same musical aspiration: to place the score and the composer’s imaginary sound at the heart of the performance, in order to give voice to the composer’s original intentions, notably through the use of period instruments. His conducting, informed by his work as a composer, covers all repertoires, from the classics and the Romantics to the contemporary repertoire.
Jérémie Rhorer was awarded the “Musical Revelation of the Year” prize by the Syndicat de la critique in 2008, as well as the Gabriel Dussurget Prize. In 2014, he was awarded the Grand Prix du Syndicat de la critique, followed by the BBC Magazine Award in 2016, both for the production of Dialogues of the Carmelites presented in 2013 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, directed by Olivier Py. He also won the Prix Pierre Cardin from the Académie des Beaux-Arts (in composition) and the Musikfest Bremen Prize in 2017.
