Biography :
JEAN-LOUIS BEAUMADIER studied flute with Joseph Rampal at the Marseille
Conservatory and continued his studies at the National Superior Conservatory in
Paris under the stimulating teaching of Jean-Pierre Rampal. Following his studies, he
performed as piccolo soloist with the National Orchestra of France for twelve years,
during which time he performed under the batons of such renown conductors as Sergiù
Celibidache, Leonard Bernstein, Lorin Maazel , Seiji Ozawa, Karl Böhm, Pierre Boulez,
and others.
BEAUMADIER has appeared as guest soloist with the Orchestre National de France,
Orchestre Jean-François Paillard, Orchestre d'Auvergne, Orchestre de Picardie,
Orchestre "la Follia " de Mulhouse, Ensemble Instrumental de Provence, Ensemble
Orchestral de Marseille, Orchestre de Cannes, and others.
Much in demand as a piccolo soloist, BEAUMADIER performs in Ireland, Israel,
England, the United States, Belgium, Germany, Senegal, Croatia, Spain, Austria, Brazil,
and Italy, as well as over one thousand concerts throughout France. He also performs
frequently as soloist on radio and television.
BEAUMADIER has recorded twenty CDs, including International Grand Prize Winner
of the Charles Cros Academy for his disc, "Concert Pour Un Kiosque" featuring works
of Eugène DAMARE (1840-1919) (Calliope Records 9869 Harmonia-Mundi)
with the
instrumental ensemble "la follia." Concerning this recording, Aurèle Nicolet has written,
Beaumadier's "record is marvelous in sound, in technique, and above all in elegance and
charm. It is a true delight!"
Regardless of musical demands or genre, BEAUMADIER takes the piccolo to greater
and greater heights and has established himself as an artist beyond compare. Jean-Pierre
Rampal wrote about Beaumadier: "Endowed with marvelous technique, he stands out,
thanks to his winning
personality and his developed artistry. It is a joy to hear him in turn
dream and turn pirouettes; he is the Paganini of the piccolo."
