Joseph-François Kremer (1954 -) is a French composer, conductor, violinist and musicologist.[1]
Biography
Joseph-François Kremer was born in Lyon (France) in 1954. Currently director of the Conservatoire Darius Milhaud of the City of Antony (Île-de-France). He is associated with an original movement in Postmodernism, cited in the ‘‘Larousse de la musique’’ [2]. His compositional style is situated between the formal conception of a theorised musical heritage and the research of new freely referenced musical climates. He is very sensitive to the sound qualities of contemporary music as well as the human role in the context of musical interpretation. As a cellist, he studied with Robert Cordier, Maurice Gendron and Claude Burgos. He studied orchestral conducting with J.C. Hartmann. As a composer, he was principally the disciple of Claude Ballif.
He has written several books which deal with musical phenomenology, especially on the symbolic forms of music (1984), on the great musical topics (1994), on musical aesthetics (2000), as well as on musical theory, among them the first French reissue of Rameau’s Traité d'harmonie of 1722, a project supported by the Fondation Singer-Polignac in 1986, and in 1996 Rameau’s Nouveau système de musique théorique of 1726. Must be also mentioned several works of comparative aesthectics [3].
From 1987 to 1994, he directed the Contemporary Music Ensemble Intervalles and performed premières, as a conductor, of works by J.Y. Bosseur, C. Ballif, M. Mathias, E. Gismonti, as well as his own works in international festivals : in Czech Republic, Germany, France, with retransmissions on Radio-France and the Radio-Suisse- Romande. He directed the conservatory of the city of Sevran from 1985 to 1996, where he invited Claude Ballif to take a composition class in 1990 as well as Marcel Bitsch, for teaching a theory course open to composers.
Kremer is president of several musical organizations : including Musiques à vivario from 2002 to 2005 for the promotion of classical music in Corsica as well as the Association of the Vocal ensemble les Oréades, creating a repertory of baroque and contemporary music.
Joseph-François Kremer was Professor of Philosophy of Music and Aesthetics at the Schola Cantorum in Paris ; he is regularly invited in France and in other countries as a guest professor (towns of Caracas, Baku, Imatra). He currently works with the Fesnojiv Foundation of Venezuela, after having published a book on the musical and social educational system (2003). He is co-author with F. B. Mâche of the Chart of the compositional and musicological teaching at the University of Caracas, where he teaches as Professor of Aesthetic since 2001.
He has contributed to the publication of more than thirty musicological works as acting as director of several collections for the parisian publishers Méridiens- Klincksieck, Kimé and L'Harmattan.
