"The Angel Peri" by Chiaki Yamazaki:
This piece was composed for a 7-minute ballet about the Persian angel Péri. The story begins with her sadness over the conflicts and suffering of humanity. Determined to bring peace, Péri decides to teach the world how to live in harmony. Though humans are initially uncertain, they eventually embrace her teachings and find happiness. The world celebrates her and thanks her for the peace she has brought, before Péri returns to heaven.

この曲は、7分のバレエのために作曲しました。物語は、イランの天使ペリが人間の争いや苦しみに悲しむところから始まります。そして彼女は世界に平和を教えることを決意します。最初は不安な人々も、やがて彼女の教えを受け入れ、幸せを感じるようになります。最後に、ペリは人々の感謝を受けて、天に帰ります。

Violincello:Evelyn Aguirre-Araya
Harp:Lukaš Dobrodinský

Sometimes a melody appears out of nowhere, as if someone were guiding their fingers by drawing a line that ends up being beautiful, without having put in any intention, any previous idea, any structure and, obviously, no architecture. It flows and emerges. It happens to me often and I don't know how to explain it. It is an easy air. It lets go and fills the environment. If sound is vibration in the air, I can find no other explanation than feeling that the air facilitates the vibration having its echo. The air accompanies this composition-improvisation. And the air structures it. And the air amplifies it. And that's how it is and that's how it flows.
A voltes una melodia apareix del no res, com si algú guiés els dits dibuixant una línia que acaba sent bonica, sense que hagi posat cap intenció, cap idea prèvia, cap estructura i, evidentment, cap arquitectura.  Flueix i sorgeix. Em passa sovint i no sé explicar-ho. És un aire fàcil. Es deixa anar i omple l'ambient. Si el so és vibració en l'aire no trobo més explicació que el sentir que l'aire facilita que la vibració tingui el seu eco. L'aire acompanya aquesta composició-improvisació. I l'aire l'estructura. I l'aire l'amplifica. I així és i així flueix.
A veces una melodía aparece de la nada, como si alguien guiara los dedos dibujando una línea que acaba siendo bonita, sin que haya puesto ninguna intención, ninguna idea previa, ninguna estructura y, evidentemente, ninguna arquitectura. Fluye y surge. Me pasa a menudo y no sé explicarlo. Es un aire fácil.  Se deja ir y llena el ambiente. Si el sonido es vibración en el aire no encuentro ninguna explicación más que el sentir que el aire facilita que esa vibración tenga su eco. El aire acompaña esta composición-improvisación. Y el aire la estructura. El aire la amplifica. Y así es y así fluye.

MBC Flute 1-13, Herbison - "Intermezzo" (FLUTE AND PIANO)

"In Thoughts of All Those We Love" - A quiet musical tribute — composed for piano, cello, clarinet, and orchestra.

The piano opens gently, like an inner reflection. The cello responds with deep warmth, a voice drawn from memory. The clarinet adds a touch of light — a fragile spark between sorrow and solace. The orchestra unfolds with restraint, offering space and support, never overwhelming.

This piece is a tender greeting to those who have shaped our lives — near or far, present or remembered. A soundscape that doesn’t seek closure, but carries us forward. Between loss and connection, music emerges that remains.

He studied the cello at the Conservatory of Boulogne-Billancourt in Paris, graduating with distinction.

In March 2018, he obtained his master’s degree from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria.

In July 2023, Christophe was honored with the GRAND PRIZE for the composition of "Little French Valse n°4" at the USA MUSIC COMPOSITION AND VIDEO PRODUCTION International Competition held by IYMC, the jury commented, stating : "Marvelous. Superbly artistic, full of life and very inventive. Such a great piece, I almost wish we lived back in the 19th century. To us, one of the signs of great composers is not repeating anything that has been already said. Liszt could get together with Chopin and compose this, but not in 2023..."
