Jens Lindemann
Trumpet

Jens Lindemann is hailed as one of the most celebrated soloists in his instrument's history and was recently named "International Brass Personality of the Year" (Brass Herald). Jens has played in every major concert venue in the world: from the Philharmonics of New York, Los Angeles, London, and Berlin to Tokyo's Suntory Hall and even the Great Wall of China. His career has ranged from appearing internationally as an orchestral soloist, performing at London's 'Last Night of the Proms', recording with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to playing lead trumpet with the renowned Canadian Brass and a solo Command Performance for the Queen of England. Jens has also won major awards ranging from Grammy and Juno nominations to winning the prestigious Echo Klassik in Germany as well as receiving an honorary doctorate.

Classically trained at the renowned Juilliard School in New York, Jens' proven ability to perform as a diverse artist places him at the front of a new generation of musicians. He has performed as soloist and recording artist with classical stars such as Sir Neville Marriner, Sir Angel Romero, Doc Severinsen, Charles Dutoit, Gerard Schwarz, Eiji Oue, Bramwell Tovey and Jukka Pekka Saraste.

Having recorded for BMG, EMI , CBC and the BBC, Jens is helping to redefine the idea of the concert artist by transcending stylistic genres and the very stereotype of his instrument by performing with "impeccable attacks, agility and amazing smoothness" (The Clarin, Buenos Aires).

A prodigious talent, Jens Lindemann performed as a soloist with orchestras and won accolades at numerous festivals while still in his teens. A prizewinner at numerous competitions including the prestigious ARD in Munich, Jens also placed first, by unanimous juries, at both the Prague and Ellsworth Smith (Florida) International Trumpet Competitions in 1992. Since then, he has performed solos with orchestras including, the London Symphony, Philadelphia, Beijing, Bayersicher Rundfunk, Buenos Aires Chamber, Atlanta, Washington, Seattle, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Montreal, Toronto, national Arts Centre, Vancouver, Warsaw, Welsh Chamber, I Musici de Montreal, St. Louis, and Mostly Mozart at Lincoln Center.

Heralded internationally as an outstanding artist, critics have stated: "He played with golden timbre and virtuosic flair" (New York Times)", "a world-class talent" (Los Angeles Times), "it was one of the most memorable recitals in International Trumpet Guild history" (ITG), "performed brilliantly in the North American premiere of Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Concerto with the Toronto Symphony" (Toronto Star), and "he gave the virtuoso highlight of the evening with the Montreal Symphony".

Dans toute l’histoire de la trompette, Jens Lindemann est probablement le soliste le plus acclamé. Il a récemment été nommé International Brass Personality of the Year par le Brass Herald. Il s’est produit dans toutes les grandes salles de concert du monde : de l’ Orchestre philharmonique de New York, de Los Angeles, de Londres, de Berlin à la salle Suntory de Tokyo et même à la Grande Muraille de Chine. Au cours de sa carrière, il s’est produit internationalement comme soliste au sein d’un orchestre, il s’est produit dans le cadre du Last Night of the Proms à Londres, a enregistré avec le Mormon Tabernacle Choir, a été première trompette de l’ensemble Canadian Brass et a été invité à se produire en solo devant la Reine d’Angleterre. Mis en nomination pour plusieurs prix, dont les Grammy, les Juno, il est lauréat du prestigieux Echo Klassik d’Allemagne. Il a aussi reçu un doctorat honorifique.

Sa formation en musique classique à la Juilliard School de New York et sa capacité à se produire comme artiste polyvalent le placent au premier rang de la nouvelle génération de musiciens. Il s’est produit en qualité de soliste et d’artiste de studio d’enregistrement avec des vedettes classiques, dont Sir Neville Marriner, Sir Angel Romero, Doc Severinsen, Charles Dutoit, Gerard Schwarz, Eiji Oue, Bramwell Tovey et Jukka Pekka Saraste.

Après avoir enregistré avec BMG, EMI, CBC et la BBC, Jens est en train de redéfinir le concept d’artiste de concert. Il transcende les styles et le stéréotype même de son instrument en jouant avec « des attaques impeccables, de l’adresse, et une extraordinaire douceur » (The Clarin, Buenos Aires).

Armé d’un talent prodigieux, Jens Lindemann s’est produit en qualité de soliste avec des orchestres et s’est mérité les éloges lors de nombreux festivals alors qu’il n’était qu’un adolescent. Lauréat de plusieurs concours, y compris le prestigieux ARD de Munich, Jens se classe premier, à la suite d’un vote à l’unanimité du jury, aux concours internationaux de trompette de Prague et de Ellsworth Smith (Floride) en 1992. Depuis, il s’est produit en qualité de soliste avec plusieurs orchestres, dont l’Orchestre symphonique de Londres, Philadelphie, Beijing, le Bayersicher Rundfunk, le Buenos Aires Chamber, l’Orchestre symphonique d’Atlanta, de Washington, Seattle, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Montréal, Toronto, Vancouver, Warsaw, St. Louis, le Centre national des Arts, le Welsh Chamber, I Musici de Montréal, et Mostly Mozart au Lincoln Center

Acclamé internationalement comme artiste exceptionnel, les critiques précisent : « Il a joué avec un timbre d’or et un flair de virtuose » (New York Times); « un talent de classe mondiale » (Los Angeles Times); « c’était l’un des récitals les plus mémorables de l’histoire de la International Trumpet Guild » (ITG); « a offert une brillante prestation lors de la première nord-américaine du concerto de Bernd Alois Zimmermann avec Symphonie Toronto » (Toronto Star); et « il a offert le moment saillant de virtuosité lors de la soirée avec Symphonie Montréal. »

About the tour
 
This tour will be offered to local and community bands in the same way as all Debut Atlantic presentations are offered (i.e. the Presenter - in this case, the band - will pay the artist’s fee with Debut covering all direct and indirect touring costs).  As this experience is offered as both an educational and performance opportunity to local school and community bands, there will be no fee offered by Debut Atlantic to participating bands.  Any fee arrangements (gate split, etc.) will remain outside the domain of Debut Atlantic.
