Michel Bouvard
Organ
MICHEL BOUVARD was born in Lyon in 1958. His grandfather Jean Bouvard, also from Lyon, an organist and composer who had been a student of Louis Vierne, Florent Schmitt and Vincent d’Indy, inspired him with a great passion for music. He began studying the piano at a young age in Rodez. Following organ studies with Suzanne Chaise-Martin in Paris, he was accepted into the organ class of André Isoir and the classes of harmony, counterpoint and fugue at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris. While serving as deputy organist of Saint-Séverin church, he perfected his studies with Michel Chapuis, Francis Chapelet and Jean Boyer, after which he became organiste titulaire of this beautiful Parisian instrument for more than ten years.
In 1983, Michel Bouvard obtained the premier prix of the international organ competition in Toulouse dedicated to French music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Succeeding Xavier Darasse as professor of organ at the Conservatoire National de Région de Toulouse in 1985, he pursued Darasse’s efforts in favor of the patrimony of the city and the region by organizing concerts, visits, master-classes, and the international organ competition with colleague Jan Willem Jansen. This work culminated in the creation of the renowned festival « Toulouse les Orgues » of which he served as artistic director from 1996-1999 and 2011-2013, and the new organ class of the « Centre d’Études Supérieures de Musique et de Danse de Toulouse » in 1994.
Michel Bouvard’s reputation as concert organist and teacher has taken him to over 20 countries, and he is frequently sought after as adjudicator for the most prestigious organ competitions. He has served for four years as a member of the « Commission Supérieure des Monuments Historiques » (Cultur Ministerium).
In 1995, he was named professor of organ at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris, with his friend Olivier Latry, and in 1996, organiste titulaire of the historic Cavaillé-Coll organ of the Basilique Saint-Sernin in Toulouse.
In March 2010, he became one of the four organists of the Royal Chapel at the Palace of Versailles.
In the fall semester of 2013, he was invited to be a guest professor at the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music (Rochester, NY, USA). During this period he also traveled to various US cities to give recitals and masterclasses.
Additionally in 2013, he received the distinction of Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from the Minister of Culture in France.
Uyama=Bouvard Yasuko
Organ
Yasuko Uyama-Bouvard est née à Kyoto au Japon. Venue en France dès 1976, munie de son diplôme d’organiste obtenu à l’Université Nationale des Arts de Tokyo, elle découvre les instruments historiques et approfondit sa connaissance de la musique d’orgue et de clavecin. Elle reçoit à Paris l’enseignement d’Edouard Souberbielle et Michel Chapuis pour l’orgue, Huguette Dreyfus pour le clavecin. Elle découvre simultanément les orgues
d’ Espagne grâce à Francis Chapelet. Plus tard elle se passionne également pour le piano-forte qu’elle approfondit auprès de Jos Van Immerseel au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. Ses études seront couronnées par deux premiers prix internationaux, au clavecin et à l’orgue.
Musicienne raffinée, interprète recherchée dans tous ces instruments à clavier, Yasuko Uyama-Bouvard se produit en soliste ou en musique d’ensembles tels que les Sacqueboutiers de Toulouse, l’Orchestre Baroque de Montauban, A Sei Voci, l’Ensemble Clément Janequin, le Chœur des Eléments… Elle a réalisé avec eux plusieurs CD, dans lesquels la critique a relevé la finesse et la virtuosité de son jeu. En 2006, elle fonde son propre ensemble, « Le Salon Viennois », autour de son somptueux piano-forte (copie de Walter 1756 réalisé par le facteur Christopher Clarke).
Yasuko Uyama-Bouvard est professeur de clavecin et de piano-forte au Conservatoire de Toulouse. Elle est également organiste titulaire de l’orgue français baroque de l’église St Pierre des Chartreux.
