Philippe Cuper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philippe Cuper (b. 1957 - ) is a French clarinetist and considered to be one of the best representatives of the current French clarinet school.
Cuper received his early training from Gilbert Voisin (who in turn was a disciple of Louis Cahuzac). Cuper also attended various summer schools taught by Jaques Lancelot.
At the age of 19, he joined the French air force band as first clarinet. After two years, he moved on to the Concerts Lamoureux. He continued studying the clarinet under Guy Dangain as well as studying musicology at the Sorbonne.
In 1980, Cuper graduated "summa con maxima lauda" from the clarinet class of Guy Deplus at the Paris Conservatoire and was awarded a Premier Prix for chamber music in 1981.
He then joined the Orchestre de la Garde Republicaine as well as the World Youth Orchestra. All the while he continued to study the clarinet with Henri Druart and consulted with Stanley Drucker. Philippe Cuper received his teaching degree in 1982.
