French conductor Pierre Bleuse is a dynamic podium presence, distinguished in both symphonic and contemporary repertoire. Since 2021, he has served as Chief Conductor of the Odense Symphony Orchestra, a role he balances with his positions as Music Director of the Ensemble intercontemporain and Artistic Director of the Pablo Casals Festival in Prades. Bleuse is deeply committed to new music, recently conducting Hèctor Parra’s opera Orgia in Barcelona and leading the Pierre Boulez centenary celebrations at the Philharmonie de Paris.

His discography includes a critically lauded Ligeti album with the Ensemble intercontemporain, awarded the Diapason d’Or de l’année in 2025. A versatile guest conductor, Bleuse regularly partners with elite international ensembles such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and the Orchestre de Paris, performing alongside soloists including Joyce DiDonato and Sol Gabetta.
