Tobias FEIERABEND

Biographie

Born in Paris in 1993, Tobias Feierabend is a French-American composer based in France. Both sensitive and experimental, his music is rooted in a variety of past, present, artful and popular influences. His recent work often revisits the realm of the lullaby (Candeurs for the Quatuor Diotima, upcoming premiere in September 2025), yet also questions the notion of soundscape and the heritage of electronics and amplification (new commission from Radio France for Organ and Ondes Martenot, premiere in October 2025).

His music has received several awards and supports : he won the SACEM's Prix Hervé Dugardin in 2025, was a laureate of the Fondation Banque Populaire (2024), the Fondation de la Vocation (2023), the Fondation Vincent Meyer and the Prix Marthe Depelsenaire of the Fondation de France (2022). His works have been commissioned and performed by instrumentalists, ensembles and institutions such as Radio France, the Ensemble Intercontemporain and the Philharmonie de Paris. His scores are published by Jobert (Henry Lemoine).

As a professor of musical analysis, he has taught at the CRR de Boulogne-Billancourt until 2023 and will join the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP) in 2025 to teach Analysis A and B, Research Methodology and Introduction to Music History.

He holds a Master’s degree in Composition (2023) and a Master’s degree in Musicology (2017) from the CNSMDP, where he obtained 4 Prizes with highest honors in Composition, Analysis, Aesthetics and XX-XXIst-century writing. He has studied with Frédéric Durieux, Yan Maresz, Luis Naón, Grégoire Lorieux, Claude Ledoux, Jean-Luc Hervé and Valéry Aubertin.
