JEREMY JOUVE
“Without a doubt one of the bright lights of the young generation of classical guitarists."
(Univers guitare, January 2005)
Jérémy Jouve, 2003 winner of the First Prize of the prestigious International Guitar Competition organized by the Guitar
Foundation of America, enjoys an international concert career, playing in some of the world's most important festivals in addition to being a Naxos Records recording
artist.
Born in 1979, Jouve began studying the guitar in Chambéry, France, and obtained at the early age of 13 the “Premier Prix” of the Grenoble
Conservatoire National de Région. This prize enabled him to be admitted to the studio of Eric Franceries, who was to become extremely important to Jouve's early
musical development. Moving to Paris at 18, he studied with Maestro Alberto Ponce at the Ecole Normale de Musique/Alfred Cortot and at the Conservatoire National
Supérieur de Musique et de Danse (CNSMDP), where he was also a student of Roland Dyens. After graduating with degrees in guitar and chamber music, Jérémy decided
to broaden his musical horizons. He elected to join an advanced training course under the guidance of Laszlo Hadady, oboe soloist of the Paris-based Ensemble
Intercontemporain.
Already an award winner at several international competitions, in 2002 Jouve won First Prize at the Tychy International Guitar Competition (Poland)
followed by First Prize at the prestigious International Guitar competition organized in Mexico during November 2003 by the Guitar Foundation of America. Following this
success, he embarked upon a 40-recital tour of the United States, Canada and Mexico during the 2004-2005 season.
Jérémy Jouve's career has brought him to some of
the most important stages and festivals of the musical world, including Moscow's Tchaikowsky Hall, Germany's Iserlhon Guitar Symposium, the French National Radio
festival, the Sanok International Guitar Festival in Poland, the Alliances Francaises of India, and elsewhere in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Italy,
Switzerland and Macedonia, among other countries.
Jérémy Jouve has always been active in a diverse array of musical projects. Among his many abiding
interests are jazz, Indian classical music and contemporary music, which has found him concertizing on the electric guitar in various ensembles. A seasoned chamber
musician, he regulary performs in several chamber music groups, in association with Sébastien Droy (tenor, nominated for French National Classical Music Award 2007) and
Judicael Perroy (winner of the GFA competition in 1997), with whom Jouve has formed a duo currently enjoying widespread attention.
Jérémy Jouve released
his first solo compact disc on the Naxos label in 2004. He is currently working on a multi-disc set of the complete guitar of Joaquín Rodrigo, also for Naxos. The
first volume of this set is due to come out in march 2008

In 1994 Judicaël earned his diploma at the Ecole Normale of Paris in the class of
Alberto Ponce and won the 7th International Competition of Bourg-Madame, a competition in which the audience selects the prize-winner. In 1996 he graduated from the Paris
National Conservatoire of Music, earning the highest placement in his class. In October 1997, Perroy won the Guitar foundation of America International Solo Competition in La
Jolla, California and took is GFA "Winner's Tour of the Americas" performing over 60 concerts and master classes.
Since then, he extensively tours in France
(including multiple performances for the National Radio in "France-Musiques"), Guadeloupe, Tahiti, Martinique Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italia, Denmark, Russia,
Yugoslavia, Singapore, Australia, USA, Mexico, Canada…
Five CDs are currently available: one under the French label Quantum (the CD was awarded a 5 stars Prize by the
French magazine Diapason); the second CD Aspen Suite was recorded in Colorado. A third CD of duos was edited with the flutist Florence Bellon for the collection Méditation of
Bayard Presse, and a fourth for the same collection with the harpist Joanna Kozielska. In February 2000, he recorded a piece by Nikita Koshkin in trio with the composer
himself and Frank Koonce for the CD Company Soundset.
