"The Sonata for Cello and Piano, inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's
iconic painting "Starry Night" and the artist's tumultuous state of
mind during its creation, takes the listener on a journey through the
serene beauty of the night sky and the deep anxiety depicted in the
swirling clouds. The piece opens with a twinkling, starry theme
played on the piano, accompanied by the cello's calm and steady
melody. As the music progresses, the cello increases in dynamics,
mirroring the increasing turmoil in Van Gogh's mind. Ultimately,
the music returns to the serene opening theme, ending on a nostalgic
note that re􀀦ects the artist's lasting legacy."

My name is Pierre Bohemond and I am an Orchestral and Chamber Music composer.  My style ranges from modern classical to modern romantic with musical influences spanning from Rimsky-Korsakov and Igor Stravinsky to progressive rock. 

In 2014, I successfully composed and publish a ballet “Dreams Interrupted” choreographed by Trinette Singleton, a former Joffrey Ballet alumna and artistic director at the Repertory Dance Theater in Allentown, PA. The premiere of the ballet was performed by the American Repertory Ballet of Princeton, NJ, and received exceptional reviews (https://www.arballet.org/repertory/dreams-interrupted/).
