Gabriel Dufour-Laperri猫re has been awarded the 2019 鈥溾�� from l鈥橝cad茅mie de musique du Qu茅bec!

A recent graduate of Schulich鈥檚 Doctorate in Composition, Gabriel Dufour-Laperri猫re held a brilliant Oral Defence just a weeks ago on May 27. His thesis piece, a sextet titled 鈥淒茅river鈥�, was premiered on April 3 by Ensemble Paramirabo and was also recorded in studio. Gabriel鈥檚 music impresses with its keen sense of control over the directionality of the musical discourse. He uses in an exemplary way the phenomenon of convergence of the sound vectors to establish the dynamism of the form. The result is a fascinating work which, at the detours of its convolutions and of its controlled and multifarious redundancies, really succeeds in embodying the idea of 鈥渄rifting鈥� into the sound world.

Gabriel said of his time at Schulich: 鈥淪tudying composition at Schulich has been an amazing experience. During the four and a half years of my doctoral studies, I was able to concentrate on music while being surrounded by truly inspiring teachers and colleagues. I improved greatly through the healthy mix of generosity and high standards they maintain. I鈥檓 especially thankful to my inspiring research supervisor Denys Bouliane. He is someone who works relentlessly and always relies exclusively on his ears to judge a piece of music. He has one of the most honest, generous, and knowledgeable critical minds that I鈥檝e encountered. He is certainly responsible in a big way for shaping me into the composer I am now as well.鈥�

Gabriel will work next season in close collaboration with composer and pedagogue Lasse Thoresen in Oslo. Gabriel鈥檚 work has already been applying Lasse Thoresen鈥檚 Aural Sonology seminal research for developing his unique compositional tools and will pursue the work already progressing on a series of articles in French with colleagues Dominique Lafortune and Philippe Macnab-S茅guin on Thoresen鈥檚 鈥淢usic-as-heard鈥� approach.

We all wish Gabriel a wonderful time during his stays in Oslo!
