Biography
Bruno Coulais was born in Paris on 13 January 1954 and first studied violin and piano, aiming to write contemporary concert music. Encounters with filmmakers led him to film scoring, and for many years he worked mainly for television. His breakthrough came in 1996 with the score for the documentary Microcosmos, which won him a César in 1997; further Césars followed for Himalaya and Les Choristes. His choral songs for Christophe Barratier's Les Choristes (2004) became a major success, the soundtrack album topped the French charts for weeks and the song Vois sur ton chemin was nominated for an Academy Award. This music forms the basis of the stage musical Los chicos del coro.
