Jean-Luc Gillet

Jean-Luc Gillet studied at various Parisian Conservatories (where he received writing and analysis awards at the C.R.R of Paris) with Alain Louvier, Allain Gaussin, Jean-Michel Bardez and Stephane Delplace.

Honored at the international Finnish composition competition "Vocal Espoo" ("Ode" for men's choir) in 2016, his music is broadcast in many countries, including Japan, Finland, Taiwan, Italy and France.

He worked with various festivals and events (Risuonanze 2015 in Italy, Obro residency, Vocal Espoo, 11th meeting of saxophone ensembles (Limousin)). With his extensive and richly diverse background (amplified music, multi-instrumentalist practice, piano, cello, Japanese shō, singing, Jazz ...), his work projects a thrilling combination of the traditional, the multi-ethnic, and the contemporary.
