 American-born
classical guitarist, composer and author, ANTHONY GLISE has just been elected to
the board of an on-going media development project of the French national music
organization, DOMAINE MUSIQUE.
Domaine Musique, in conjunction with the
National French Film Commission, (CRRAV), are the two major underwriters for
international feature films and documentaries shot in France.
Domaine
Musique has chosen several new internationally-recognized personalities this
year to join the assembly in the categories of:
1) composers,
2) major film directors, and,
3) film documentary
directors.
Glise has accepted a post on the council as one of the only
two traditional classical music composers on the assembly and is the only
American-born composer ever invited to join the council.
The goal of the
assembly is to facilitate direct contact between producers, directors and
composers and to help negotiate better relations between French composers and
the film industry.
The seat of the assembly is in Lille, Northern
France. Lille, which is the fifth largest city in France, was chosen as the
"Cultural Capitol of Europe" by the Congress of the European Community in 2004.
This region was host to an international concert exchange between the US and
France presenting the St. Joseph Chamber Chorale, directed by Frank Thomas of
Missouri Western State University (St. Joseph, Missouri, USA) in 2005 featuring
selected compositions of Mr. Glise.
Given the fact that the city of
Lille has such an active, internationally-recognized cultural scene, Domaine
Musique is developing this commission to attract a large portion of the European
film industry into Northern France where the artistic quality has proven just as
high, but more economically viable than in many other regions of Europe. |
