ROMAIN LELEU was born in Lille in 1983. He is considered one of the best trumpeters of his generation. After his ‘Victory of the Music’ in 2009, Maurice André congratulates him and regards him as his worthy heir to the French trumpet school. A compliment that Romain Leleu defends at each of his concerts, because “without trimming on the virtuosity, his game disconcerted by his sense of dialogue and his singing lines, whose harmonic richness and delicacy compete with the human voice”.
