Pierre Pichaud
Orchestra conductor
After studying at the Limoges Conservatory, Pierre Pichaud continued his training in Boulogne-Billancourt, where he proved himself to be a gifted student of Fréderic Presle. He graduated in Rouen. His eclectic artistic career (symphony orchestras, variety orchestras, military bands, etc.) has given him a keen interest in arranging and composing. He is co-founder of the Chapeu l’artiste association and musical groups such as Souds-Doués. His link with the circus starts with the Bouglione circus tour in France (2015-18), consolidates with the Circus Arts Foundation productions and crystallizes with the position of orchestra conductor of the legendary Cirque d’Hiver.
Patrick Rosseel
Show ruler
Considered by the professional sector as one of the best circus managers in Europe, Patrick perfectly masters the management of the thousand and one details that make up the complex clockwork machinery of a large-scale circus show: lighting, sound, effects, parades, etc. For a quarter of a century, he was the director of the Knie Circus and the Stuttgart Christmas Circus. It is no coincidence that some of the leading circus shows of our time today bear his signature: the Golden Elephant Festival, Pastelito Circus, the Christmas circuses of Girona, Düsseldorf, and Mönchengladbach, and Circus Nights.
