Ovide Musin was born on September 22, 1854, in Nandrin, Belgium, the son of Jaques Musin, a civil engineer, and Louise de Milles.
Musin was admitted to the Liège Conservatory at the age of nine, and in 1867 he shared with Eugène Ysaye the second prize of the Conservatory. When Henri Léonard was appointed professor of violin at the Conservatory in 1870, Musin became his pupil and followed the Belgian master to the Paris Conservatory.
Musin began his professional career at fifteen as solo violinist of the Théâtre Royale in Spa. His first concert tours (1873 - 1874) were made, on the recommendations of Léonard and Vieuxtemps, to fill concert engagements they could not undertake, and until 1882 Musin toured Europe triumphantly as a virtuoso violinist, appearing with leading orchestras in London, Vienna, and Paris, under various conductors: Hans Richter, Edvard Grieg, Edouard Colonne, Charles Lamoureux.
In 1875 he organized in Paris a stringed quartet to popularize newer ensemble works and was the first to acquaint Parisians with Brahms's chamber music. In 1876 the King of Holland appointed him court violinist, but the following year he went to London. He remained in Great Britain for five years, touring England, Scotland, and Ireland, playing at Sir Julius Benedict's soirées, and in the homes of the nobility. He made his first appearance in America in the eighties with the New York Symphony Society, under Leopold Damrosch, and with the New York Philharmonic Society under Theodore Thomas, playing the Godard violin concerto for the first time in the United States. He made various tours in the United States and Canada with a concert troupe of his own.
In 1892 he visited Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico, and in the late nineties he appeared in Japan, China, the Philippines, and Hawaii.
From 1898 to 1908 he was head of the advanced class for violin at the Liège Conservatory, but he spent half of his time in New York.
In 1908 he resigned his position and established a violin school of his own in New York. Here he was prominent as a teacher for some twenty-one years, until he died in his home in Brooklyn on November 24, 1929.
Ovide Musin was a renowned violinist and composer, whose compositions for the most part were brilliant virtuoso pieces after the manner of Vieuxtemps and Wieniawski; he also arranged a number of transcriptions. In addition, he gave concerts in all major cities in Europe, North America, Latin America, Oceania, and in several major cities in Japan and China.
