Daniel Gazon started his conducting studies with I. Markevitch and M. Deutsch. In 1984, he was invited by S. Ozawa at the Berkshire Music Centre (USA) to perfect his conducting technique there. His most influential encounter, however, was with S. Celibidache, with whom Gazon followed courses in musical phenomenology and conducting. Since 1985, he has developed an international career, mastering a broadranging repertoire (both symphonic and operatic), which largely consists of contemporary compositions. Having been invited by major festivals such as ISCM, Melos-Ethos, Ars Musica, Düsseldorf-Kontrapunkt, Automne de Varsovie and Gaida, he has conducted numerous creations of contemporary composers. Gazon also teaches conducting at ARTS² (Mons).
