Philippe Boivin (born 1954) is a French contemporary composer.

Life

Born in Metz,[1] after studying musicology at the Sorbonne, Boivin obtained his Certificate of Aptitude for Secondary Teaching Professorship in 1976, which allowed him to teach. Between 1977 and 1979, Boivin studied writing at the Conservatoire de Paris and followed Alain Bernaud's harmony classes. He then studied composition at the École normale supérieure de Paris with Max Deutsch. Registered at the University of Vincennes in 1979, he trained in new technologies, notably with Iannis Xenakis. The following year, he attended a training course on computer-assisted music composition at the Ircam. He then went to California at the Center for Music Experiment of the University of California, San Diego. From 1985 to 1988, he was a regular producer at Radio France. Since 1990, Boivin has been involved in musical composition and educational activities, regularly participating in seminars and giving lectures. He continues his activities as director of the Conservatoire de musique et de danse of Ivry-sur-Seine, and since 2008 at the Centre de formation des musiciens intervenants of the Université de Provence Aix-Marseille I.

His compositions are written for a variety of instrumentists, from soloists to large orchestras, with a predominance of chamber ensembles.[1]
