About the conductor Marc Minkowski

Marc Minkowski was born in Paris in 1962. He began his musical career as a bassoonist, playing both in modern orchestras and in such period-instrument ensembles as Les Arts Florissants, the Clemencic Consort of Vienna and La Chapelle Royale. He gained his initial conducting experience in France and subsequently studied with Charles Bruck at the Pierre Monteux Conducting School in Hancock, Maine. In 1982, he forms Les Musiciens du Louvre, a Paris-based period-instrument ensemble with whom he has since achieved success both in concerts and recordings, championing music by Marais, Mouret, Charpentier, Lully and Rameau, and reviving interest in lesser-known Handel operas as well as several operas by Gluck In 1984, Minkowski wins First Prize at the first International Early Music Competition in Bruges, and went on to be awarded the Orphée d’or as “Best Young Conductor” by the French Académie du disque lyrique in 1990.
