Biography

Etienne Haan (b. 1992, Strasbourg, France) is a French composer.

Haan completed his composition studies at the Strasbourg Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Annette Schlünz, Thierry Blondeau, Philippe Manoury, Tom Mays and Daniel d’Adamo. After successfully completing his bachelor exam in Strasbourg, Haan attended the Hanns Eisler Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, where he studied with Hanspeter Kyburz.

He was composer in residence of the “Académie de France” in Madrid, “la Casa de Velázquez” for the year 2019/20.

His works were performed by professional ensembles such as Hanatsu Miroir (Strasbourg – FR), Zafraan (Berlin – DE), the trio Brouwer (SP), or the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg.

The composer’s skills include instrumental and electronic composition, collaboration with other artists (recently with the choreographer Alica Minar and the painter Keke Vilabelda) and conducting. His aesthetic research is based on perception, using causal effects and other tools to draw the public’s expectations and play with it. The wish of the composer is to create music anyone can relate to, without any musical education but curiosity.
