Author Biography

Charles Roussin, Federal University of Minas Gerais (Brazil) - UFMG

Charles Roussin's first musical training was studying Classical Guitar, the instrument in which he obtained his first Bachelor's degree in Music from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, under the guidance of José Lucena Vaz and Fernando Araújo. At the same time as studying the guitar, Charles Roussin developed his studies in orchestral conducting, receiving his Master's and Bachelor's degrees in this area from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, where he was a student of Sílvio Viegas. He was also tutored by conductors Holger Kolodziej, Isaac Karabtchevsky, Osvaldo Ferreira, Roberto Tibiriçá (to whom he was assistant for two years), Ernst Schelle and Jean-Marc Burfin. In 2020 he completed his Doctorate in Orchestral Conducting at the University of Aveiro, having researched aspects of 18th century dramatic music. A significant part of this research was the edition and contemporary premiere of the work "La Pace fra la Virtù e la Bellezza", by the Neapolitan composer David Perez (1711-1778). In 2011, he became a full professor at the School of Music of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, where he works in the areas of Orchestral Conducting and Opera Studio.
