Didier Benetti

As solo timpanist of the Orchestre National de France, Didier Benetti has played under the direction of prestigious conductors such as Lorin Maazel, Seiji Ozawa, Pierre Boulez, Ricardo Muti, Valery Gergiev, Kurt Masur, and Daniele Gatti. Enriched by these meetings, he decided to devote himself to orchestral conducting, his first steps being guided by Manuel Rosenthal. His musical eclecticism allows him to approach with the same happiness the works of the great symphonic repertoire
