Jean-François Madeuf is a French trumpeter who specializes in historically informed playing styles. He is also an educator and researcher in the field of early music.
Early Life and Education
Very little is known about Madeuf's personal life. He completed his studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Lyon.[1][2]
Career
Performance
Madeuf has been active in numerous Baroque ensembles across France, Europe, and Japan, such as Sigismund Kuijken's "La Petite Bande", "Les Arts Florissants", "Bach Collegium Japan" and countless others.[1][2] He has been praised for his bold use of historically accurate instruments that do not employ the use of modern trumpet mouthpieces or vent holes. His recording of Bach's 2nd Brandenburg concerto is the only one of its kind, played entirely on historical instruments, created during his work with "La Petite Bande" and performed live once in Osaka, Japan, with the same ensemble.
Teaching
Since 1992, Madeuf has taught historic trumpet at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Lyon, of which he is an alumni. In 2001, he succeeded Edward H. Tarr at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis[3] in Switzerland, where he continues to teach. Since 2011, he has taught natural trumpet at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris.[4]
Research
Madeuf is conducting research leading to a doctorate at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, focusing on natural trumpet playing.[1][2]
Awards and Recognition
In 2009, Madeuf received the Christopher Monk Award from the Historic Brass Society for his significant contributions as a performer and teacher, and his dedication to historically informed performance practice.[5]
