Fanal Dominique

Dominique Fanal did advanced musical training with Pierre Wissmer in particular then, for conducting, with Pierre Dervaux, André Girard - whose assistant he would become in the framework of his summer classes -, Jacques Pernoo and Fernand Quattrocchi, at the same time as his very complete university studies. After his premiers prix at the Conservatoire (harmony, orchestration, analysis... ), two SACEM prizes (1976, 1979), the Vocation Prize of the Académie du Maine (1980) and that of the Foundation of France in 1982, he received the Prize of the Pays de Loire Regional Council in 1987, and was again distinguished by the Foundation of France in 1989. Conducting almost everywhere in France, he has been conductor of the Sinfonietta de Paris, musical director of the Collegium Musicum du Maine, and guest conductor of numerous foreign orchestras, in Poland (where he regularly conducts the Olsztyn Philharmonic), Spain (symphony orchestras of Palma, Málaga...), Russia and Byelorussia (philharmonic orchestras of Minsk and Kaliningrad), Bulgaria (Ruse Philharmonic), Mexico (Mexico City Chamber Orchestra), Brazil (Blumenau Festival Orchestra), Uruguay (Montevideo Radio-TV Orchestra), Argentina (where, every year, he conducts the orchestras of most of the large cities: Mendoza, Mar del Plata, San Juan, San Luis, Tucumán... ), Belgium and the United States, as well as festivals (Soirées Musicales d'Eté in Paris, Ile-de-France, Festival International de France, Montevideo Mozart Festival, Palma, Tarazona...).

He accompanies our greatest soloists and has premiered numerous works by Thérèse Brenet, Wissmer, Calmel, Pardo, Raynaud, Creuze, Mikofalvy et al. His recording activity spans a large part of musical history from Vivaldi to the Contemporaries by way of Saint-Saëns or Scriabin...
