Encouraged by Jean Françaix, who hailed him as ‘an excellent musician and tireless arranger’, Frédéric Cellier wrote a number of pieces of light music and a considerable number of arrangements in all styles and for all instruments acclaimed by numerous personalities in the music world. Along his university studies (DEA in musicology, University of Paris IV-Sorbonne), Frédéric Cellier was awarded three first prizes and a development prize at the CNR of Nice and won first prize at the International Competition of Musical Execution - soloist category – of Stresa (Italy). He is the laureate of the Fondation de France and the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation and accredited teacher at the CNR of Nice, the CNR of Marseille, and at the CRR Olivier Messiaen of Avignon (France).
