A graduate of the higher writing cycle of the National Conservatory (CSNM) in Paris and a doctor of musicology, Audrey Cabarrou has composed several pieces for a concert of the association “Around a piano 1890”.
“It was thanks to a childhood friend from the Voltaire college who took me to the open days at the Tarbes conservatory that I discovered and heard classical music for the first time”. It was at the age of seven that Audrey Cabarrou fell in love with this music and “a crush on the transverse flute”, her first instrument. La Tarbaise continued his musical education at the Pau Conservatory where his parents had moved, until the age of 17.
A very bright student
“What attracts me to music is the emotion it evokes. It creates vibrations and sets my body in motion” says the young woman nicely, with words as chosen as her favorite composers. Then once her literary baccalaureate with a music option in her pocket obtained hands down at Lycée Louis-Barthou, Audrey Cabarrou turned to composition, first in the writing class of the regional conservatory (CRR) of Bordeaux in 2009 to 2013 then at the National Conservatory of Music (CNSM) in Paris from 2013 to 2017. “This is where I acquired the tools of composition (harmony, fugue, counterpoint, etc.). We are taught to write in the musical style for example of Bach, Wagner or Beethoven to find his own style” explains the young woman of 31 years. In other words, the student learns the musical style of the great composers to find his own.
“Put my emotions to music”
Because what she likes above all, “is to put my emotions to music, to create pleasure in the public, to bring them a little joy in a time when we need parenthesis and escape and where music allows us to reconnect with ourselves and at the same time to recreate a moment of cohesion and sharing in an individualistic world. More than the others, in my opinion, classical music allows us to access a greater depth of soul and introspection I like to write pieces in the romantic style for solo piano or for violin/piano or cello/piano, even if during my training I have already written for choirs, organs or string quartets”. At the same time, the young woman followed a university course in musicology in Bordeaux then at La Sorbonne in Paris where she obtained a master’s degree and a doctorate and taught writing, because she knows that “living on composition is not easy thing”.
A magical concert
But she has not given up on her dream of becoming a composer, quite the contrary. It was while attending a concert by Diana Cooper in Lanne (which she met once more at the National Conservatory of Paris in 2013) around the association “Around a piano 1890”, that she had the idea to compose several pieces for the Tarbes pianist, for the cellist Carla Moujahed-Coste and for her childhood friend, the violinist Hélène Fleurbaey. From this meeting was born a magical concert in Lanne on August 11th in the house of Philippe Lahore d’Antin and Sylvie Labonde, which houses the famous piano from the Erard workshops. “I also like the idea of democratizing classical music, which should not be reserved for an elite, but should be able to be diffused in the countryside, to meet the general public”, declares the young woman who would see herself becoming one of of the rare female composers in the world of classical music.
