Vincent Dubois, Organ Recital
Titular organist at Notre-Dame de Paris since 2016 and recognized as one of the most brilliant organists on the international scene, Vincent Dubois has enjoyed an intensive concert career since winning, at the age of 22 in 2002, first prizes at the prestigious Royal Bank International Organ Competition in Calgary (Canada) and the Xavier Darasse Competition in Toulouse (France).
As a soloist, he has been invited to perform with renowned orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Dallas Symphony, the Hong Kong Philharmonic, the Korean National Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre National de France, the Orchestre National d’Île de-France, the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, Les Siècles, the Orchestre National de Lorraine, the Orchestre de Bretagne, the Orchestre de Picardie, the Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, among others. He has worked with conductors including Esa-Pekka Salonen, Myung Whun Chung, Evgeny Svetlanov, Edo de Waart, François-Xavier Roth, and Stéphane Denève.
He has also been a guest at many international festivals, including Vancouver, Budapest, Stuttgart, Montreal, Chartres, Cambridge, Lisbon, Ottawa, Dresden, Merseburg, Roskilde, and the 2018 American Guild of Organists Convention in Kansas City. He has performed in world-class venues such as the Musikverein and Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Spivey Hall in Atlanta, Disney Hall in Los Angeles, the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Suntory Hall and Musashino Center in Tokyo, the Maison Symphonique in Montreal, King’s College in Cambridge, Westminster Abbey and Cathedral in London, St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, Bartók Hall in Budapest, the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, and the Auditorium of Radio France, among many others.
He has recorded programs for Radio France, ORF Vienna, SWR Munich, CBC/RadioCanada, the American media PipeDreams, and others.
The expressiveness and poetry of his playing, heavily praised by critics, are strongly influenced by pianist Pierre Froment, who was his teacher and one of Alfred Cortot’s disciples, making him one of the most original and compelling organists of his time.
At the same time, his lifelong passion for improvisation – shaped by an early encounter at age 16 with Philippe Lefèbvre, titular organist of Notre-Dame de Paris and a legendary improviser – has led him to be recognized today as one of the foremost improvisers on the international scene.
Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris, where he won five first prizes, including a first prize in organ in Olivier Latry’s class, he passes on his dual passion for performance and improvisation through masterclasses regularly given at the most prestigious universities and conservatories in Europe, North America, and Asia. He has taught at the University of Michigan, the Musikhochschule in Freiburg, and the Musikhochschule in Saarbrücken, where he holds a professorship.
In addition, his appetite for contemporary creation led him to create Guillaume Connesson’s Concerto da Requiem, works by Thierry Escaich for solo organ or organ and ensembles, and to participate in the creation of original artistic performances such as Liturgie équestre, performed as part of Automne en Normandie in Saint-Ouen de Rouen alongside equestrian choreographer Bartabas, as well as the show Chœur d’étoiles with actor Michel Duchaussoy.
