Full biography Pierre Max Dubois
Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) was a French composer of classical music. He was a student of Darius Milhaud, one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. Dubois' works for woodwinds are especially noteworthy, as he wrote many of them and they are often considered his best compositions. He started his career as a composer in the 1950s and went on to achieve critical acclaim for his works, such as his Alto Saxophone Concerto. Dubois was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1955 , which is a prestigious award given to young artists in various fields. In addition to his work as a composer, Dubois was also a conductor and a professor of musical composition at the Conservatoire de Paris. While Dubois' work is not as well-known as some of his contemporaries, his contributions to the world of classical music are significant and his works are still performed and studied today.
