Fernand Schirren
Fernand Schirren is a Pianiste, percussion nist and Belgian Compositeur born with Nice the January 21st 1920 and died with Auderghem the August 25th 2001. He was the son of the painter Belgian fauvist Ferdinand Schirren.
Engaged by Maurice Béjart in 1961 as percussionnist in the Four Wire Aymon , Schirren becomes professor of rate/rhythm to the École Mudra as of 1970. It deeply marks generations of dancers and choreographers like Maguy Marin, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Michele Anne De Mey, Pierre Droulers or Herve Robbe.
After the departure of Béjart and the closing of Mudra, Schirren is engaged with the school P.A.R.T.S., where it continues to lavish its lesson during five years, while accompanying with the Piano the silent films with the Musée by the Cinema.
Fruit of ten years of work, its manuscript the paramount and sovereign rate/rhythm was published in Fac-similé with Brussels in 1996. Its writing is a true partition, where each letter, each syllable, each word is stressed by the C-W communication.
Its manner of making feel the rate/rhythm (“and… boom… ”) and its pipe remained legendary.
