 He has also
received many awards from foundations (Vocation 89 - President’s Promotion,
DAAD, Lavoisier, Menuhin, Cziffra). In 1994, Contet created the
concerto for accordion dedicated to him by Jean Françaix.
In 1995 he founded Trio Allers-Retours with violinist Noëmi
Schindler and cellist Christophe Roy le - a testimony to his liking for
chamber music: his album with double basse player Joëlle Léandre
(CD Grave/ Concorde/ Média 7 ref: CDGR 1) will be remembered by
all.

Considered by international critics to be one of the principal players in the renaissance of the accordion in France, Pascal Contet has not only constructed a new repertoire (with works by Ballif, Bussotti, Cavanna, Drouet, Fénelon, Globokar, Rebotier among others) but breaks through artistic boundaries , covering improvised and theatrical music (Jean- Pierre Drouet, Andy Emler, Vinko Globokar, Jacques Rebotier) and participating in choreographed productions (Stéphanie Aubin, Jean- Claude Gallotta, Angelin Preljocaj, Loic Tousé and Emmanuelle Huyhn). Frequently a guest of ensembles and symphony orchestras, he has played under such great conductors as Pierre Boulez, Diego Masson, Pascal Rophé and Philippe Nahon.  |
