Armand Angster (born 20 January 1947) is a French clarinetist. With Françoise Kubler (soprano), he is the founder of the ensemble "Accroche Note", research and creative formation in contemporary music.

Career

Born in Strasbourg, Angster's mastery of the different clarinets (soprano, bass clarinet[1] and metal doublebass) allows him to be the dedicatee of works by contemporary composers (Brian Ferneyhough,[2] Ansioso quasi con gioia (2015) by Stefano Gervasoni,[3] La mesure des choses I. La mesure de l'air (1992) by Joël-François Durand,[4]) as well as their interpreter (Aleph (1985) by Philippe Manoury, Dikha by Christophe Bertrand, By the Way by Pascal Dusapin, Assonance III (1989) by Michael Jarrell).

In 1981, he created in Strasbourg with Françoise Kubler the Accroche Note ensemble[5][6] offering programmes combining music from yesterday and today; this ensemble is supported in particular by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Strasbourg.

He is soloist in various formations ranging from the Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France,[7] the Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg to ensembles of contemporary music in Europe (Nieuw Ensemble d'Amsterdam.[2])

He regularly takes part in the Musica Festival[7] of Strasbourg and to numerous others (Europajazz Festival at Le Mans in 1989).

Angster teaches clarinet and chamber music at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg[8] and at the Haute École des arts du Rhin in Strasbourg. Many of his students such as Manuel Metzger,[9] and Jean-Francois Charles turned professionals.

He is recognized in the jazz world, notably thanks to the concerts and recordings in 1990 of the clarinet trio with Louis Sclavis and Jacques Di Donato, renowned improvisers and masters of the clarinet. He continues the trio experiment with new clarinetists, Sylvain Kassap and Jean-Marc Foltz in 2005.
