Guy Touvron (born 15 February 1950) is a French Classical trumpet player and music teacher. He is an accomplished soloist, having played with some of Europe's leading orchestras, and has premiered several prominent trumpet concertos.〔 Touvron has given over 3,000 concerts, features on over 70 recordings, and has won several prizes, including three international Grands Prix.〔 Touvron also teaches trumpet and regularly conducts master classes around the world. He has been called "one of the leading pedagogues of trumpet technique and interpretation France has ever produced."〔 He wrote a biography on his mentor Maurice André, which was published in 2003.〔 ==Biography== Guy Touvron was born on 15 February 1950 in Vichy, France. While his parents were not musicians, his grandfather played the cornet. At the age of ten Touvron started playing the cornet, and after a few years he became proficient on both the cornet and trumpet. In 1967 Touvron enrolled at the Paris Conservatory of Music and studied under classical virtuoso trumpeter Maurice André. A year later the Conservatory awarded Touvron first prize for cornet, and a year after that, first prize for trumpet.〔 Touvron held the position of principal trumpet for the Orchestre National de Lyon between 1969 and 1971, and for the French Radio Philharmonic Orchestra between 1971 and 1974. In 1973 he formed his own group, the Guy Touvron Brass Ensemble, and became a faculty member of the Lyons Conservatory in 1974. In 1990 Touvron began teaching at the Conservatoire National de Région in Paris. He regularly conducts master classes around the world, including at the Juilliard School in New York City, and at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.〔 Many of Touvron's performances are of works by baroque composers like Bach, Albinoni and Torelli, but he also performs contemporary classical music and has premiered several prominent trumpet concertos by Ivan Jevtić, Jacques Loussier, François Rauber and others. Over 20 compositions have been written for him.〔 Touvron has performed with orchestras such as I Solisti Veneti, the English Chamber Orchestra, La Scala di Milano, The Luzern Festival Strings, the Prague Chamber Orchestra, as well as French Orchestras of Lyon, Toulouse, Pays de Loire, Pays de Savoie and Auvergne. He regularly appears in festivals at Lille, Prades, Lanaudière (Canada), Bachwoche Ansbach, Pollenca (Spain), Stresa (Italy), Salzburg (Austria) and Montreux (Switzerland).〔 Touvron features on over 70 recordings, has given over 3,000 concerts, and has won several prizes, including three international Grands Prix in Munich, Geneva and Prague.〔 In the early 2000s, Touvron wrote a biography on his mentor Maurice André entitled ''Maurice André: Une trompette pour la renommée'' (Maurice André: A Trumpet for Fame), which was published in 2003.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guy Touvron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
