Matthieu Donarier

Bio:

Matthieu Donarier learned to play the clarinet before turning his attention to the saxophone at the age of fifteen. Alter spending a few years practicing classical and contemporary music at the National Conservatory of Rennes, he settled in Paris for four years to study at the Jazz Department of the National Academy of Music (CNSM). He graduated from there in 1998 with a first prize, awarded unanimously.
In the same period, he founded the Matthieu Donarier Trio with guitarist Manu Codjia and drummer Joe Quitzke; Winners of the Concours National de la Défense in 1999, the group toured for several years in Europe, Middle East and Canada before releasing its first album, OpticTopic in 2005 on the dynamic and independant french label YolkRecords.
.. As a result of these experiences, Matthieu Donarier creates his own musicaI language through improvisation, composition, and playing his four instruments, all in Bflat (tenor and soprano saxophones, clarinet and bass clarinet).
.. His latest creation is KINDERGARTEN with singer and keyboard player Poline Renou ; this rare acoustic and electronic project is much more a personal expression than a jazz group more...
