Born in 1961, Nicolas Bacri began comprehensive musical studies at a very early age: the piano, but also the technical disciplines of harmony and counterpoint, and finally, from 1979, composition with Louis Saguer. Armed with a First Prize incomposition, he was resident at the Academie de France in Rome, in the Villa Medici between 1983 and 1985, and it was during this stay that he had a decisive encounter with Giacinto Scelsi. Nicolas Bacri is regularly played by well-known performersand institutions and among the many commissions Nicolas Bacri has received, mention should be made in particular of those from the French Ministry of Culture and Radio France as well asfrom many orchestras, soloists and festivals. For a while rootedin a post-Webernian aesthetic (Symphony ndeg 1, in 1984), the music of Nicolas Bacri has, since his Cello Concerto (1987), reintegrated a certain melodic continuity and has incorporated tonal language, going well beyond straightforward harmonicfunctions. A metaphysical quest for the Beautiful, a strong attraction for intensity in artistic expression and "a dialectical alchemy of the Dionysiac and the Apollonian" round off the portrait of a composer who takes his place fully in a Westernhistorical perspective that, in all consciousness, he has chosen for himself and to which he rightfully adheres.

Ne en 1961, Nicolas Bacri a, fort jeune, commence a etudier completement la musique : le piano mais aussi les disciplines techniques de l'ecriture, enfin, a partir de 1979, la composition avec Louis Saguer. Muni d'un premier prix de composition, ilfut pensionnaire de l'Academie de France a Rome, a la Villa Medicis, entre 1983 et 1985. Et c'est lors de ce sejour qu'il fit la rencontre, decisive, de Giacinto Scelsi.

Nicolas Bacri est regulierement joue par des interpretes et institutionsreputes et parmi les nombreux commanditaires qui sollicitent Nicolas Bacri, on citera le Ministere de la Culture et Radio France ainsi que de nombreux orchestres, solistes et festivals.Un tempsancree dans une esthetique post-webernienne (Symphonie ndeg1, en 1984), la musique de Nicolas Bacri a, depuis son Concerto pour violoncelle (1987), reintegre une certaine continuite melodique et accueilli le langage tonal, bien au-dela de sessimples fonctions harmoniques. Une recherche metaphysique du Beau, une attraction profonde pour l'intensite de l'expression artistique et << une alchimie dialectique du dionysiaque et de l'apollinien >> achevent de dresser le portrait d'un compositeurpleinement situe dans cette perspective historique occidentale que, en toute lucidite, il a choisie et dans laquelle il s'inscrit en toute legitimite.
