Biography
Olivier Chassain was born in Paris in 1957. He studied with Roger G?n?raux in Limousin and
subsequently with Alexandre Lagoya at the Paris Conservatoire where he was, in 1982, the First Prize winner on Guitar as well as in both compositional disciplines of Harmony and Counterpoint.
His own teaching career began in Orleans, and he is now Professor of Guitar at both the Paris Conservatoire and at the Bordeaux Conservatoire. His international concert touring took wing when in 1988 he won the Guitar Foundation of America''s International Competition, the first non-American to do so- He has subsequently given recitals worldwide and made extensive tours in the USA, Canada, and Europe. A recent highlight was an extensive recital and teaching tour in China in 1996.
In the field of composition he has published several concert pieces: Arion, Etoiles, de Loin en loin as well as writing several educational series inspired by his work with his pupils. He is a passionate advocate of the importance of contemporary writing in performance and in study.
