Clément Nonciaux began his musical career with piano at the Conservatoire de Tours at the age of six. Curious and eager for musical experiences, he studied numerous disciplines such as harpsichord, percussion and musicology. His ambition to become a professional musician pushed him towards Paris where he completed his piano studies and developed a passion for the orchestral repertoire and the theater.<
Driven by his curiosity, he moved to Germany where he started a bachelor's degree in orchestral conducting under the direction of Professor Scott Sandmeier at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg and continued with a master's degree at the UdK Berlin under the direction of Steven Sloane and Harry Curtis. During this period he conducted numerous orchestras, including the Komische Oper Berlin Orchestra, the Kammerakademie Potsdam, and the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt. This German period also opened the door to opera, where he was able to work in several countries as a répétiteur.
In 2022 he began to participate in conducting competitions and won the second prize at the 1st International Rachmaninoff Competition for Pianists, Conductors and Composers in Moscow. On this occasion, he was invited to conduct the Mariinsky Orchestra in concert in St. Petersburg. In March 2023 he took part in the 17th Donatella Flick Conducting Competition in London, where he conducts the London Symphonic Orchestra.
Clément Nonciaux practices music with a mission to create links throughout the world. He is committed to learning about the foreign cultures that music brings him close to, and is emotionally committed to reaching out to audiences, especially with repertoire from his native country.
His next engagements include a new production of the opera Le Postillon de Lonjumeauby Adolphe Adam at the Novaya Opera Theatre in Moscow in July 2023, directed by Evgueny Pisarev.
