Description
Take off on a symphonic road trip with composer Dominique Probst, who leads us from the peaks of
Mont Blanc to the baroque splendours of Versailles, with incursions, when the desire takes him, into the
worlds of rock and jazz with the same communion of musical joy. Dominique PROBST was born in Paris in 1954 into a family of artists and musicians, the CASADESUS. He is the younger brother of conductor Jean-Claude Casadesus. He received the first prize in percussion at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP) in 1978 and the composition prize from the Fondation Lili & Nadia Boulanger in 1979. A member of the Orchestre Colonne from 1973 to 2015, first as a percussionist and then solo timpanist, and of the Ensemble Percussion 4 from 1979 to 1985 (alongside friends Patrick Mendez, Didier Benetti, Alain Beghin, and later Lionel Postollec), Dominique also teaches percussion at the Conservatoire Maurice-Ravel in Levallois, as a tenured professor, and at the Francis Poulenc Conservatory in Paris. He has regularly played with the Moroccan Philharmonic Orchestra since 2012.
