Mameranus Preis 2026 für Trompete geht an Daniel Migliosi

The 2026 edition of the Mameranus Preis, a prestigious accolade dedicated to nurturing young musicians in Luxembourg, has been awarded to trumpeter Daniel Migliosi. This year’s prize specifically recognized outstanding talent in the trumpet category, highlighting Migliosi’s advancing career in both jazz and classical music.

Born in 2004, Daniel Migliosi’s musical journey began in Luxembourg’s educational institutions, including the Lyzeum in Esch-Alzette and the Escher Conservatory. There, he received comprehensive training in music theory alongside rigorous trumpet studies, encompassing genres from jazz to classical music. This foundational education laid the groundwork for his subsequent achievements.

In 2023, Migliosi achieved a significant milestone by earning a Bachelor’s degree from the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln, an institution renowned for its comprehensive music programs. His academic background is complemented by practical experience within various ensembles, notably big bands and orchestras. Among his professional affiliations is the Orchestre National de Jazz France, attesting to his integration into high-caliber jazz circles.

Migliosi’s performance résumé includes collaborations with prominent ensembles such as the Concertgebouw Big Band, the WDR Big Band, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. These engagements demonstrate his versatility and recognition in the European jazz scene, bridging traditional and contemporary styles.

His recorded output has also been gaining attention. Migliosi’s debut album, released in 2022 and titled 'Left On Scene,' introduced his artistic voice to a wider audience. He followed this with 'On The Edge' in May 2024, further solidifying his position as a promising trumpeter with a distinct musical perspective. Plans for a subsequent album are underway, with a scheduled release toward the end of 2026, indicating a continuous creative momentum.

The official award ceremony is slated for the evening of November 12, 2026, at the historic Mamer Schloss. This event will not only celebrate Migliosi’s accomplishments but also feature a live musical program co-curated by Migliosi and fellow musician Pol Belardi. The concert promises a showcase of their artistic talents in a setting that underscores Luxembourg’s commitment to cultural development.

The venue, located at 1 Place de l’Indépendance in Mamer, will offer free admission to attendees, though organizers recommend advance registration through the Mamer municipal offices to manage attendance.

Mameranus Preis, established to encourage young artists in Luxembourg, has a history of spotlighting emerging talents who contribute to the country’s vibrant music landscape. Migliosi’s recognition in 2026 underscores the ongoing vitality and diversity in Luxembourg’s contemporary music scene, particularly in the field of trumpet performance.

While detailed information about the jury's deliberations remains limited, the selection of Migliosi reflects a broader appreciation for musicians who blend academic training with practical versatility across jazz and classical domains. His trajectory exemplifies the increasing interconnectedness of European jazz networks and the importance of nurturing young artists through both education and performance opportunities.

The forthcoming ceremony at Mamer Schloss is anticipated to be a highlight of Luxembourg’s cultural calendar for 2026, drawing attention to the country’s investment in musical excellence and the promising future of its young artists, as embodied by Daniel Migliosi.
