Olivier St-Pierre is a Montreal composer, pianist and organist specializing in contemporary music. Active as a pianist since childhood, Olivier first undertook studies in philosophy, before returning to music and completing competitions in instrumental composition and analysis at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, under the direction of Nicolas Gilbert and Jimmie LeBlanc. Since 2019, he has been titular organist at the Sanctuaire-du-Saint-Sacrement in Montreal, where he regularly presents programs dedicated to the 20th- and 21st-century organ repertoire. In addition to his work as a composer and performer, Olivier has been teaching at the École de musique Vincent-d'Indy, in Outremont, since 2021, and has collaborated with the magazine Circuit, musiques contemporaines. His approach focuses on exploring the relationship between sound and time, using microtonality and polyrhythm in a resolutely experimental perspective. His music has been performed by numerous ensembles in Quebec and Canada.
