RICHARD BOULANGER, Senior Piano

Upon completion of studies leading to three prizes from the Montreal  Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of Yvonne Hubert, Richard  Boulanger furthered his musical training in Germany with pianist Karl  Engel, and then in Paris where he enjoyed six years of advanced study  under the tutelage of Nadia Boulanger. 

His published doctoral thesis, Les innovations de Domenico Scarlatti  dans la technique du clavier from the Sorbonne (D. Musicology), is devoted to the work of Domenico Scarlatti. 

Dr. Boulanger is currently active as a concert pianist and full professor of music history and piano at the Université de Moncton in New Brunswick. Fluent in both official languages, he is frequently requested  to adjudicate music festivals across Canada. 

During his last sabbatical (2013-2014), he prepared a CD devoted to composer Richard Gibson’s solo piano works.
