​
Jean-Luc « Oboman » Fillon belongs to the rare musicians whose artistic journey is punctuated of original and diverse projects (11 albums in leader). Multi-instrumental composer, with a strong classical background (ex-soloist of the European Symphonic Orchestra), he takes one of the most boundary-breaking and convincing artistic path of our musical stage, with a careful blend of discretion and determination. His credo : to build a musical project anchored in Jazz, World music and improvisation around the specific sound of oboe, oboe d’amore and English horn.
Invited as a solist by the National Orchestra of Ile-de-France and by the Regional Orchestra of Normandy for his project “Oboa Nomade”, he tours in many countries (France, United States, Germany, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Austria, Portugal, Argentina…), and is the artistic director of « Sons 9 » festival in Paris.
MASTER-CLASSES
Certified from the Paris national conservatoire, Oboman teaches improvisation at the national academies of Cergy-Pontoise and Mantes in the Yvelines district. His musical experience, his mastery of various instruments (Oboe, English Horn, Bass clarinet, Electric bass, Double bass) and his knowledges in composing and conducting allow him to successfully lead master classes with ease. Jean-Luc Fillon particularly knows the expectations of students with a classical background and who wish to try out improvisation ; he gives many master-classes : CNSM of Lyon, HEM of Genève, HEM of Lausanne, HEM of Lugano, Universities of New-York, Austin, Birmingham, Porto, Buenos Aires and numerous national academies in France.
“A great moment of pedagogy, based on an experience and a personal development full of humility and research on broad diverse and rich musical outlooks”. Jean-Louis Capezzali and Jérôme Guichard.
