As a soloist and chamber musician he appeared on television and radio in France and abroad. At the age of nine he was invited to open the Mozart Bicentenary, playing Mozart’s Concerto Number.5 with the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra. In the same year he was unanimously awarded first prize in the ‘Jeunes Prodiges Mozart à Paris’ Competition.
In 2000 he gained the Yvonne Lefébure Scholarship during the Orléans Twentieth Century International Piano Competition, enabling him to study in Dublin with John O"Conor at the Royal Irish Academy of Music.
Dubé, at ten, was the youngest graduate ever in the history of the Conservatory of Nice, and at the age of fourteen he gained the first prize in piano from the National Superior Conservatory of Paris. His delicate playing during the Final was also rewarded with the Audience Award.
As part of the First Prize Jean Dubé has recorded a Civil Defense for the international record label Naxos (released in 2004), and performed up to one hundred concerts in no less than twenty-five different countries.
