Professor Martin Jean has performed widely throughout the United States and Europe and is known for his broad repertorial interests. A past winner of the Grand Prix de Chartres National Young Artists’ Competition in Organ Performance (AGO), he was a student of Robert Glasgow at the University of Michigan and did extensive coaching with David Craighead and Russell Saunders. In the fall of 1999, he spent a sabbatical with Harald Vogel in North Germany where he prepared a Bach cycle at Yale in 2001 among other projects. He has performed on four continents and in nearly all fifty states, and judged organ competitions in the United States, Korea, Russia, the UK, and France. His compact discs of The Seven Last Words of Christ by Charles Tournemire and the complete Six Symphonies of Louis Vierne, both recorded in Woolsey Hall, have been released by Loft Recordings. Recordings of the organ symphonies and Stations of the Cross of Marcel Dupré are forthcoming. Professor Jean is a former board member of Lutheran Music Program and is represented by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists in North America.
