Composition

Gilles Rocha’s first experience as a composer was in 2007, at the National Championships for Brass Soloists and Quartets in Orsières. The champion-to-be played a piece by the unknown « Canadian » composer: Thomas Stephen Kerr. Gilles wanted to remain anonymous in order to evaluate the real feelings of the audience towards his piece. It is much easier to ask people what they think of a new « Canadian » composition, than to ask them whether they like your own music !

Gilles is keen to respond to any offers of composition commissions, whether from professionals or amateurs, and for any type of instrument or ensemble. He likes nothing better than a new challenge !
