Biography
Gabriel Yared was born in Lebanon in 1949 and lived there for the first 18 years of his life. From age four to 14, he attended a Jesuit boarding school in Beirut where he spent most of his time. Alongside his studies, he taught himself music, practicing on the school organ and reading the repertoire thanks to the musical library of the Jesuits. He was first and foremost a child fascinated by what he heard and was soon determined to learn the techniques of musical composition.
Yared's commitment to music quickly became a passionate and exclusive one. He spent his entire leisure time expanding his musical knowledge. Thus, at a very tender age, music theory and notes became as natural to him as the alphabet. Yared pursued and nurtured his musical quest by reading the classical works. Although he later on benefited from a more academic education by the great masters, he remains at heart a fervent self-taught musician, always on the trail of a musical ideal, open to all kinds of music.
Since 1980, he has devoted most of his time to composing more than 100 original scores for the movies, and some have even earned him prestigious awards. In 1997, he gained international recognition for Anthony Minghella's The English Patient for which he received an Academy Award®, a Golden Globe and a Grammy.
Choreographers including Carolyn Carlson, Roland Petit and Wayne McGregor have asked Yared to write music to accompany their choreographies.
