Clément Saunier is also the last French laureate in the last Maurice André trumpet competition (Paris 2006).
In 2013 he was named solo trumpet with the Ensemble Intercontemporain in Paris and thus collaborates with influential composers and orchestral conductors of our time such as Peter Eötvös, Matthias Pintscher, Pierre Boulez, Simon Rattle, Pablo Heras-Casado, Unsuk Chin, Martin Matalon, Helmut Lachenmann, Olga Neuwirth…
