Aubert was born in Paris and became a student of Jean Baptiste Senaille. His first position was as violinist in the service of the Prince of Conde. Thereafter he was a member of the Vingt-quatre Violons du Roy. From 1728 to 1752, he was the first violinist at the Paris Opera.
He regularly and successfully appeared for a dozen years beginning in 1729 at the Concert Spirituel with, among other works, concertos for violin and orchestra of his own composition.
Together with Jean-Joseph Cassanea de Mondonville and Jean-Marie Leclair, Aubert brought the zest of Italian violin virtuosity into the French musical fare of their time. He died in Belleville.
His son Louis Aubert (Le Jeune) (1720-1783) was also a violinist and composer. Another son, Jean-Louis Aubert (1731–1814) was a dramatist, poet and journalist, also known as the Abbe Aubert.
