Philippe Lamouris (born 1991) is a Hungarian-born composer, pianist and artistic researcher based in Belgium. He studied composition and piano at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel and completed a doctorate in the arts in 2021. His compositions include the community opera Leedberg, the oratorio Heavens, and Arctic Desert.
Biography
[edit]Lamouris was born in Hungary in 1991. He studied at the Bartók Béla Conservatory in Budapest before moving to Belgium in 2009. At the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel (KCB), he studied composition with Jan Van Landeghem and piano with Jan Michiels, receiving master's degrees in composition in 2014 and piano in 2015.[1]
He subsequently pursued doctoral research at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel. His doctorate in the arts, Beyond: A Pianist-composer's Thoughts on Musical Simplexity, Emotion and the Soul, concerned composition, performance, musical emotion and expression.[2] He completed the doctorate in 2021.[1]
Lamouris has taught at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel since 2016.[1]
Music
[edit]In 2017, Lamouris composed the community opera Leedberg, commissioned by the Immaculata Maria school in Roosdaal. A subsequent production at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel in 2018 brought together professional and amateur musicians, schoolchildren and local choirs.[3]
His chamber work Ur was performed by the piano and saxophone duo Koi Collective. Reviewing the performance for Crescendo Magazine, Bernard Vincken described the work's combination of tenor saxophone, piano and electronic sounds.[4]
In 2021, Lamouris composed the oratorio Heavens, with a text by Rozemarijn Vanwijnsberghe. The work incorporates religious and non-religious texts in several languages and was created in Schaarbeek in connection with the World Choir Games, with participation from singers in Belgium and abroad.[5]
The same year, Lamouris premiered his piano concerto at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, performing as soloist with the symphoniaASSAI orchestra conducted by Wouter Lenaerts. The concert was presented as the final artistic result of his doctoral research.[6]
In 2023, his composition Arctic Desert was selected as the laureate in the ACA category of the Andrée Charlier Composition Competition, organised in partnership with the Ars Musica festival.[7]
