Jacques Mauger

Jacques Mauger (born 1959) is a French classical trombonist.

Born in Barentin, Mauger started playing music with the Concert band of his native town at the age of 12. He studied trombone at the conservatoire de Rouen and later at the Conservatoire de Paris. He won prizes at international competitions in Markneukirchen (Germany) and Toulon. He began his professional career as principal trombone with the Orchestre philharmonique de Nice, and then became principal trombone with the Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Paris.

Since 1990, he has worked as a concert performer and often performs as a soloist in France and other countries. He has played with various ensembles, such as symphony orchestras, brass orchestras and concert bands, and has given recitals accompanied at the piano and the organ. Many composers have written original works or pieces for which he is the dedicatee.

Mauger teaches at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Paris, a position he has held since 1994, as well as at the Conservatoire de musique neuchâtelois (Switzerland) in professional classes since August 2004. He is also a professor at the Accademia Lorenzo Perosi of Biella in Italy. He often gives master classes in many countries.
