Régis Campo (Marseille, 1968) first studied philosophy in Aix-en-Provence and then composition with Jacques Charpentier in Nice and Paris, and with Georges Boeuf in Marseille. He continued at the CNSM in Paris with Alain Bancquart and G‚rard Grisey, winning the 'Premier Prix' in composition. He has also been honoured in competitions, among others, in the Athens Olympia Competition, the Prix de la Ville Salon de Provence, and the Celtic Harp Competition. Praised by Edison Denisov as “one of the most gifted of his generation”, in 1996 he received the Gaudeamus Prize for Commedia, and the first prize, “prix special jeune compositeur”, as well as the prize awarded by the public at the third Dutilleux Competition for Exsultate Jubilate for brass quintet. His works have been performed in countries including France, Greece, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Russia and Japan. In composing he concentrates on melody plus a great vitality in tempo, as can be heard in works such as Fabel and Commedia.
