Pierre
Feyler studied in the Academie de lOrchestre and at the Banff Center School
of Fine Arts in Canada and then decided to pursue a career mainly in Chamber Music.
During his studies he was influenced by some of the finest double bass
players. He was a founder member of the La Bruyere Ensemble and created the
Trio Sonata Concert in 1987, for which he commissioned works from several
composers. As a member of this ensemble he toured in Europe, in Japan, in
Moldavia and in Canada and made several recordings under the VDEGallo label. He also
made recordings of contemporary music both as a soloist and as a member of
small groups. He is
regularly invited to play in several national orchestras and also teaches at
the Ecole Nationale de Musique dEvry
(France). Pierre
founded the Winter Concert Festival in Meriel, outside Paris, in 1999
and has been its Artistic Director together with Francoise Perrin ever since.
In
2001, after meeting the theatre director Rene Alboid he composed and played a
solo piece for double bass for Cendres
de Cailloux
(Pebble Ashes), a play written by Daniel Denis which has had over fifty
performances in France. He wrote a further piece for violin and double bass
for J.L.Lagarces play Noce in
2004. He
appeared in Phedre
et Medee with
Fanny Ardent and Sonia Wieder-Atherton in 2005. The following year Pierre
wrote five sketches for double bass and orchestra and renewed his continued
to work with R. Alboid in a production of Mathilde Sincy by D.Chryssoulis with music for violin, double
bass and piano. During this time he continued playing in orchestras and
chamber music groups as well as in the recording studio. Pierre
Freyel composed four melodies for some of Emilie Rivenqs poems in January 2008 which were performed the
following month by Nicolas Rivenq (baritone) and Bruno Gousset (piano).
Sketches for double bass and piano are to be written and performed in
