Jean-Yves Malmasson
Jean-Yves Malmasson (born 1963) is a French composer and conductor.
Malmasson was born in Saint-Cloud in the Paris suburbs. After studies in piano, ondes Martenot, and composition at the Conservatoire National de Région, Boulogne-Billancourt, he went on to study composition and conducting at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he won a first prize in composition. His orchestral tone poem "Le chant de Dahut" for ondes Martenot and Orchestra won the SACEM prize at the 1988 Festival des tombées de la nuit, in Rennes (France).
His principal teachers include Alain Louvier, Pierre Grouvel, Serge Nigg, Jacques Charpentier (musical writing technique and composition), and Jean-Claude Hartemann and Jean-Sébastien Bereau (conducting).
Malmasson's compositions are written in an expressive, extended-tonal style which uses a great deal of harmonic vocabulary borrowed from the style of Olivier Messiaen (notably in the early work "Un feu ardent dans un silence noir et froid" for pianoforte). Malmasson is often inspired by space and astronomy ("Mare Nostrum" for Orchestra, Coro).
In addition to being the musical director of the city of Puteaux wind orchestra, a post he has held since 1988, Jean-Yves Malmasson is also director of Orchestre Philharmonique des Yvelines et de l'Ouest Francilien (Versailles).
