He has been a programming advisor for the Musica Festival since 2006.
Liza Lim
Born in Perth, Australia in 1966, internationally acclaimed composer Liza Lim writes music marked by visceral energy and vibrant colour. A recurring thread in her work is the exploration of the themes of crossing cultural boundaries and of ecstatic transformation. Her music brings together aspects of modernist abstraction with forms of ritual culture drawn from a variety of sources. She counterpoints seemingly opposed pairs of terms such as 'radiance and shadow', 'violence and meditation' to describe her musical language. Lim was recently appointed Professor of Composition under the University of Huddersfield's '20 Professors' initiative.
Stéphane Malfettes
Production delegate at T&M in the Nanterre-Amandiers Theater (until 2001), then secretary-general at the Maison de la Culture of Grenoble (2002) and at the Opéra of Lille (from 2003 to 2006), he is since January 2007 in charge of the programmation of both the Auditorium du Musée du Louvre and « la Scène » in the Louvre-Lens (opening in 2010). He wrote several articles about performing arts (for artpress in particular) and published in 2000 an essay called Les Mots distordus. Ce que les musiques actuelles font de la littérature (published by M. Seteun/IRMA)
