Jean Dubé (musician)

Jean Dubé (born December 3, 1981 in Edmonton, Alberta), internationally recognized as one of the most important young pianists of our time and is appreciated for its musicality and power.

He likes to associate other arts with music (painting, sculpture, cinema, literature) and give themed recitals (bells, birds, love, dance, water and gardens ...). His interpretation of the Turangalîlâ was the best show of the year in 2000 in Riga and that of Liszt's 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody won in 2002 the fastest replay in the history of Radio Chicago (WFMT station).Unanimous First Prize of the National Conservatory of Paris( Perfectionnement) at the age of 14 under Jacques Rouvier, he studied with Jacqueline Robin, Catherine Collard and with John O'Conor in Dublin, thanks to a full year Yvonne Lefébure scholarship.
