Hugo Bégin has achieved equal mastery of the trombone, sackbut, piano, and organ. A graduate of the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, he studied trombone with Joseph Zuskin and the renowned Alain Trudel, and organ with Mireille and Bernard Lagacé. He has worked as a freelance trombonist with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, the Orchestre Métropolitain, the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, the Orchestre symphonique de Laval, Les Violons du Roy, and I Musici de Montréal, among many other ensembles throughout Quebec. Bégin’s interest in composing and arranging music has been present from youth. He works as a composer, arranger and copyist with several orchestras and individuals, and has recently been commissioned to write arrangements for the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, the Orchestre Métropolitain, and I Musici, to name only those, as well as compositions for the Ensemble Horizon, the Quatuor de trombones de Montréal and the Orchestre régional d’Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
