Guy Whatley and Jean-Christoph Dobrzelewski regularly perform as a trumpet
and organ duo. They have commissioned and premiered a number of new works; and they
specialize in both performing new music and imaginative interpretations of earlier
repertoire. They have performed in Switzerland and across North America. In 2004 they
produced a CD recording of music for various trumpet ensembles and organ. They are
planning a CD of new American and Swiss music for trumpet and organ.
Dr. Jean-Christophe Wojciech Dobrzelewski was born on September 22, 1978
in San Jose, Costa Rica. He spent most of his early life in Switzerland, where he studied
trumpet with Jean-Francois Michel (former trumpet solo of the Munich Philharmonic
Orchestra). In 1997 he met Eric Aubier from the Conservatory of Rueil-Malmaison in
Paris. Dobrzclewski was invited to join Aubier's trumpet studio in Paris, and in 2000, he
graduated from the Conservatory with a "Prix" with the highest honors. In the spring of
2001, he moved to the United States to pursue his Master of Music Performance degree at
the university of Maine at Orono. Upon graduation, Dobrzelewski immediately moved to
Arizona to begin work on his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Trumpet Performance and
was a Teaching Assistant in the studio of the Regents Professor David Hickman. He
completed his D.M.A. degree in 2004, and is now Co-Principal trumpet with the MidlandOdessa Symphony and member of the Lone Star Brass Quintet.
Dobrzelewski's professional experiences have brought him in contact with
famous soloists and orchestral players such as Maurice Andre, Guy Touvron, Samuel
Pilafian, Wolfgang Bauer, and Max Sommerhalder. Since 1998, he has regularly
performed in recitals with organ, orchestra, and brass quintet in France, Switzerland, Costa
Rica, and the United States. He has also won prizes at the Selmer Competition in Paris
(1999), and at the Concerto Competition at the University of Maine (2001).
A native of Wales, Guy Whatley's first musical experiences were at the twelfthcentury cathedral of Llandaf. After private study on organ and harpsichord in Holland with
Ton Koopman, he then studied music at The University of Bristol, where he graduated with
honors. Recently he has undertaken extensive study in Italy and Spain. Guy was awarded
the diplomas Associate of the Royal College of Music and Licentiate of the Royal Schools
of Music with honors for organ and harpsichord performance. He continued his organ
studies in Stuttgart with Ludger Lohmann. He has also studied with Maria Boxall and
Marie Claire Alain. Although specializing in early music, he does not limit himself to this
repertoire, having performed a number of major new works for the organ. He has produced
editions of early British keyboard music and is currently assisting in editing the new
Barenreiter complete editions of Byrd and Frescobaldi. Guy's principal area of interest is
the Tudor organ and has presented the fruits of his research in a number of papers. The
Piper Foundation has also provided funds for a recording of this repertoire.
Guy has performed on a number of important historic organs in Europe and North
America. He recently attended a summer academy looking at the Iberian organ in Mexico
and presented a paper at the Gothenburg Organ Academy in Sweden. Guy is host of "The
Fabulous Fritts" on NPR member station KBAQ Phoenix. Guy is completing his doctorate
in organ performance at Arizona State University with Kimberly Marshall, and is currently
organist of Sun Lakes Jewish Congregation and Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise
Valley, Arizona.
