Jérémy Jouve, 2003 winner of the First Prize of the International Guitar Competition organized by the Guitar Foundation of America, enjoys an international concert career, playing in some of the world’s most important festivals. Born in 1979, he began studying the guitar in Chambéry, France, and obtained at the early age of thirteen the Premier Prix of the Grenoble Conservatoire National de Région, enabling him to be admitted to the studio of Eric Franceries, who was to become extremely important to Jouve’s early musical development. Moving to Paris when he was eighteen, he studied with Alberto Ponce at the Ecole Normale de Musique/Alfred Cortot and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse (CNSMDP), where he was also a student of Roland Dyens.

After graduating with degrees in guitar and chamber music, he decided to broaden his musical horizons, and elected to join an advanced training course under László Hadady, oboe soloist of the Paris-based Ensemble Intercontemporain. Already an awardwinner at several international competitions, in 2002 he won First Prize at the Tychy International Guitar Competition (Poland), followed by First Prize at the prestigious International Guitar competition organized in Mexico during November 2003 by the Guitar Foundation of America. Following this success, he embarked upon a forty-recital tour of the United States, Canada and Mexico during the 2004-2005 season.
