Paul Desenne composer
date of birth: 07.12.1959
Paul Desenne (Caracas (Venezuela), 7 December 1959) is a Venezuelan cellist and composer, whose composition style fuses elements from native Latin American and European music.
In 2002 Desenne took a break from teaching and performance to concentrate on composition. Desenne's works have been performed in major venues around the world, including Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and Joan and Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. On 4 September 2016 Desenne's work Hipnosis mariposa was premiered at The BBC Proms by Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.
Desenne's "unique compositional style" exhibits a "musical hybridization" of influences from European classical music and indigenous Latin American traditions. "His works, though easily classified as art music, nevertheless gain much of their emotional and referential meaning through this rich borrowing."
