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". As one of the
world's most exciting trumpet soloists, Los Angeles based Lindemann
is internationally endorsed by the Yamaha Corporation and performs
exclusively on 24K gold plated trumpets.
"The trumpet is capable of being
played with the virtuosity of a violin, the tenderness of the human
voice and the stylistic flexibility of the piano. It allows me an
endless range of communication with audiences."
- Jens Lindemann
