Biography

Born in Châtellerault, Pennetier began studying the piano at the age of three and later entered the Conservatoire de Paris in piano and chamber music classes. [1] After having passed several international competitions, he began a solo career which led him to perform abroad. In the early 1970s, he temporarily interrupted this career to devote himself to composition and conducting. He also took advantage of this period to deepen his repertoire and his reflection on music. He became interested in musical theatre, writing operas for children, the pianoforte. He is also passionate about chamber music and contemporary classical music. He conducts the Ensemble intercontemporain, the Ensemble 2e2m and from 1995, he teaches at the Conservatoire de Paris. He has premiered works by Philippe Hersant, Maurice Ohana, Pascal Dusapin, Nicolas Zourabichvili among other composers of the XX that he likes.
