He has never been the same since. A student of voice, performance practice, the history of singing and opera, he holds advanced degrees in Italian and has lived and worked in Italy off and on since the 70s. La Scala became a second home as the Met had been during college daze. Now in his native Boston, he works as translator, tutor, and language coach, haunts Symphony Hall, and would haunt the Opera House had it not been demolished in 1958!https://bachtrack.com/files/76914-lacombe-09fredstucker5-1-resized.jpg510340Jacques LacombeFred Stucker2018-Feb-15, Symphony Hall: Debussy and Ravelhttps://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/symphony-hall-9903/debussy-and-ravel/15-february-2018/20-002018-02-152018-02-17Symphony HallBostonMassachusettsUnited StatesMA 0211542.342783-71.08587299999999https://bachtrack.com/files/51714-boston-symphony-logo.jpg5

He has studied piano and classical music in his early years. He switched later on to computer science and data architecture but he kept an unwavering interest in following the classical music phenomenon here in New York and in his travels.
Edward occasionally reviews fine arts events for the most prestigious literary magazine in Romania, his home country.https://bachtrack.com/files/42431-jacques-lacombe-jf-berube-resized.jpg510340Jacques LacombeJF Berube2016-Jul-09, Tanglewood, Koussevitzky Music Shed: Beethoven, Ravel, Orffhttps://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/tanglewood-koussevitzky-music-shed/beethoven-ravel-orff/09-july-2016/20-002016-07-092016-07-09Tanglewood, Koussevitzky Music ShedLenoxMassachusettsUnited States0124042.3531367897775-73.3095359802246https://bachtrack.com/files/51714-boston-symphony-logo.jpg3

This seemingly disjointed program from Jacques Lacombe and the Orchestra Symphonique de Montréal included music by Berlioz, Dvořák and Ravel, in addition to a new work by Serge Arcuri: all voyages of complementary but fundamentally different kinds.

Opera Company of Philadelphia (OCP) reached into the Philadelphia community with its remake of Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet, the second of five shows in the 2010-11 season. In his OCP debut, Italian director Manfred Schweigkofler gave the company a chance to recast a Renaissance-era tale of two Italian families bearing ancient and deadly grudges as warring fashion houses in 21st century Verona.

L'Orchestre Symphonique de Mulhouse proposait en mars un concert de musique française. On pourrait envisager la Faust-Symphonie de Liszt dans une certaine continuité, sachant ce qu'elle doit particulièrement à Berlioz.

Ayant pratiqué le chant choral et s'étant exercé au chant lyrique -ce que l'état de sa voix, entre autres, ne lui permet malheureusement plus- il est à l'écoute de l'actualité musicale, un penchant pour les claviers : orgue, piano, clavecin.
Les concerts des artistes qui le passionnent, leurs enregistrements, l'écoute fréquente de France-Musique, la recherche assidue de ce qui satisfait la curiosité d'un mélomane, alimentent sa vie culturelle de retraité. Il n'est pas indifférent à la chorégraphie, ayant eu l'initiative et la charge d'un jumelage, durant plusieurs années, entre le Ballet de l'Opéra National du Rhin et l'établissement dans lequel il enseignait.
Il partage volontiers ses coups de cœur, son enthousiasme étant encore fortifié lorsqu'il parvient, au moins en partie, à le communiquer à autrui.https://bachtrack.com/files/38673-lacombejacques-c-julie-skarratt.jpg510340Jacques LacombeJulie Skarratt2016-Apr-22, La Filature: Faust Symphonie de Liszt à Muhousehttps://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/la-filature/faust-symphonie-de-liszt-a-muhouse/22-april-2016/20-002016-04-222016-04-23La FilatureMulhouseGrand EstFrance6809020 allée Nathan Katz47.75357637.34844723
