Éric Aubier (born 1960) is a French classical concert trumpeter.

Life

[edit]

Having entered Maurice André's class at the age of 14 at the Conservatoire de Paris, of which he is still the youngest graduate, Aubier is also a winner of international competitions in Prague, Toulon and Paris.[1] At the age of 19, he was appointed soloist at the Paris Opera orchestra by Rolf Liebermann. Since 1995, he has devoted himself exclusively to a career as an international concert performer and teacher. With Thierry Escaich, he forms a very original trumpet and organ duo.

Today, Aubier embodies the modern French trumpet and the French wind school, which he helps to promote internationally. He has created more than 25 works of which he is the dedicatee, by composers Bacri, Escaich, Jolas, Grätzer, Matalon...[2]

In 2012, with the French Republican Guard Band, Harmony and string orchestra, he began a collaboration of several records. An album dedicated to Henri Tomasi was released at the end of 2012, and a third dedicated to Beffa, Copland, and Planel, in spring 2014.

His discography is rich with more than a hundred works for the firms Sony Classical, Universal, Calliope, Bis record companies… Since 2006, Éric Aubier has recorded exclusively for Indésens records.[3]

He performs in prestigious venues: Teatro Colon, Suntory Hall, Salle Pleyel, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées... in a repertoire ranging from Haydn and Hummel to Tomasi, Jolivet, Escaich, Bacri or Beffa.
