Pierre Boulez
Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) was a French composer and conductor, born in Montbrison, and one of the central figures of postwar serial music. He is known for works such as Le Marteau sans maître and Pli selon pli, and for founding IRCAM in Paris, the institute for musical research and electronics that opened in 1977. Boulez started the Domaine musical concert series in Paris in 1954 and later the Ensemble intercontemporain, set up alongside IRCAM. His catalogue also includes Structures Book I for two pianos and Répons for soloists, ensemble and live electronics.
