BIO

Graduating in performance from the Vincent-d’Indy School–University of Sherbrooke, he received the J.S. Bach prize at the end of his studies.  For several years, he studied with Françoise Aubut, a first-prize winner at the Conservatoire de Paris and a student of Alfred Cortot, Marcel Dupré, and Olivier Messiaen.  He attended the summer academies in Haarlem, Netherlands, studying with André Isoir and Marie-Claire Alain, and later at the New England Conservatory in Boston with Yuko Hayashi and William Porter.  He also holds a degree in art education and has served as a dossier reviewer and workshop facilitator in the arts for the International Baccalaureate, an organization of international education schools. He has around thirty years of experience in teaching music.

For about ten years, he was church organist and frequently accompanied the Ste-Maria Goretti choir in concert. During his courses at McGill University, he studied harpsichord under Sandra Weeks, organ with John Grew, contemporary music with Bruce Mather, and composition with Alcides Lanza.

His interest in a historical approach to music led him to play the baroque hurdy-gurdy. He performs in concert either as a soloist or accompanist. In 2021, he was a collaborating musician for the Baroquelyn ensemble in New York and received a grant from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec.

In recent years, he has produced and recorded two harpsichord albums. Critics have praised his playing as “demonstrating his knowledge and talent in historical interpretation, his elegance… an admirable sensitivity, a softness, and a beautiful practice of articulation and ornamentation.” — La Scena Musicale

Since 2022, he has been working on specific projects by designing and implementing baroque music days, where awareness workshops and concerts are presented.
