à propos de François Pernel
Issu de la musique classique (médaille d’or CNR de Reims) dans la classe de Madame Dominique Demogeot, François Pernel fraie son chemin entre composition, arrangements, swing et mélodie...
Son univers musical est imprégné aussi bien des rythmes et de l’improvisation issus des musiques de tradition orale que de la recherche harmonique des compositeurs du XX ème siècle (Messiaen, Scriabine, Satie...)
Harpiste Plug and Play, il s'adapte à tous les répertoires: musique baroque, classique, contemporaine, irlandaise, lyrique, improvisation...
Il est lauréat au Concours International de Harpe Celtique Jakez François (avril 2009), obtient deux fois un second prix au Trophée Camac du Festival Interceltique de Lorient (août 2009 et 2010) et remporte en harpe celtique, niveau Excellence, le Premier Prix au Concours Français de la Harpe de Limoges (janvier 2010.)
Il donne des masterclass sur l'arrangement d'une mélodie, l'improvisation, la composition et les éléments de swing (festival d'Edimbourgh, Ecosse, avril 2010 // Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, Limerick, Irlande, octobre 2010)
Compositeur et arrangeur, François Pernel est considéré aujourd'hui comme un harpiste hors sentiers battus, repoussant les frontières harmoniques et rythmiques de la harpe celtique et de son répertoire.
About François Pernel
Since completing his studies at the Conservatoire de Musique of Reims (France), Francois Pernel has travelled across Europe as a soloist and teacher.
He is renowned as a versatile musician, equally at home with classical, swing, jazz, traditional and contemporary music. Through his own compositions he is pushing forward the repertoire of the lever harp at the same time as developing his own techniques, his unique sound and his individual style.
His music is partly influenced by the rhythm and form of traditional music around which he improvises and partly by the rich harmonies of contemporary composers like Olivier Messaien, Kristen Nogues, Alexander Scriabine and Eric Satie.
As a teacher he has given masterclasses on such diverse topics as old musical scales, improvisation, rhythm and arranging melodies at the World Irish Academy of Music and Dance in Limerick (October 2010) and at the Edinburgh International Harp Festival (2010) where he also gave an acclaimed recital.
As a performer he was a prize winner at the Jakez Francois International Lever Harp Competition in Nantes (April 2009) and of the Camac Trophee at the Interceltic Festival in Lorient (2009 and 2010).
