DeutschGrégoire Simon
viola, electronics
Grégoire Simon works between Berlin and Paris as a performer (viola and violin), producer, and composer. After studying violin and viola, he was chosen in 2012 by Pierre Boulez to take the solo viola position in the prestigious Ensemble Intercontemporain (Paris), where he played for four seasons, notably performing as a soloist at the Paris Philharmonie. Since 2015 he has been a regular guest solo violist at the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Munich. As one half of the duo Yes Sœur! (with Alexandre Bouvier), he produces electronic compositions for stage productions, particularly for contemporary dance. With his hybrid Berlin-based project SUGAR, Grégoire Simon builds bridges between chamber music and pop music, with original creations presented at the Wien Modern Festival and at the Rotersalon of the Volksbühne in Berlin.
