Jacques Grimbert

Jacques Grimbert (born 10 May 1929)[1] is a French conductor and choral conductor.

Biography

After studying western concert flute at the Conservatoire de Lille, Grimberg integrated the Conservatoire de Paris, where Olivier Messiaen and Darius Milhaud were his teachers among others.

He was the founder of the Chœur et Orchestre de Paris Sorbonne in the 1974s, and will be the artistic director of Musique en Sorbonne until 2008.

His multiple collaborations (Leonard Bernstein, Seiji Ozawa...) associated with his real desire to transmit to young artists gave rise to vocations, such as those of choral conductors Michel Laplénie, Laurence Equilbey, and Denis Rouger.

In February 2009, he was made a chevalier of the Légion d'honneur.[2]
