Vincent Dubois

Born in 1980, Vincent Dubois is one of the finest young concert organists to appear on the world stage in many years. He is a graduate of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris where he was a student of Olivier Latry, and earned First Prizes in Organ, Harmony, Counterpoint, Fugue and 20th century composition.

 In 2002 Dubois won two major organ competitions: the Recital Gold Medal at the 2002 Calgary International Organ Competition and the Grand Prize at the 2002 International Competition of Toulouse. As a result of these prizes, Dubois has performed throughout Europe, North America, Asia and the Pacific. His performances have included numerous international music festivals such as Cambridge, Stuttgart, Dresden, Vancouver, Montreal, Chartres and Roskilde. Dubois has also appeared as guest soloist with several orchestras and ensembles, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre National de France, the Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, the Orchestre de Picardie and the Orchestre de Bretagne. His performances have been broadcast over Radio France, the O.R.F. Vienna, CBC Radio Canada, Australian Radio and American Public Media’s Pipedreams. Since 2001, Vincent Dubois is titular organist of the Cathedral of Soissons.

He has also recorded CDs for different labels : Alpha, Temperaments, JAV Recordings, Vox celestis.

“Vincent Dubois turns in absolutely stunning performances of the “big three” Liszt organ works… These performances stand up to or possibly surpass the best on the market.  Dubois possesses maturity far beyond his years. He plays with consummate passion and breathtaking virtuosity, yet with absolute technical control.  He also knows how to spin a phrase.  The quieter sections afford moments of delightful delicacy and poetic introspection.  In short, Dubois evokes the spirit of Liszt himself.  This is worth adding to your collection.”
